Will be moving from the US to the DR, long term, in July. What kind of anti-malaria medicine would you advise I bring? There are several on the market.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ken said:Where will you be moving to? Is there some reason why you think it is necessary to have anti-malaria medicine? I've been doing without it for 19 years, but if there is some reason why you think it is necessary, I'll be interested in hearing it.
I am unaware of any North Coast confirmed malaria cases throughout the recent outbreak in La Altagracia and to a lesser degree Duarte provinces, the warnings for which have both been rescinded. There was one situation in New Brunswick (Canada) where a doctor diagnosed malaria in a group of six returning tourists from Sosua, but the initial diagnosis was not supported by lab tests and was never reported by PHAC.Ladybird said:HB and Ken, but there has recently been malaria at Playa Dorado, is it true they moved the tourists out to de bug recently????
Professora said:I will be living in Santiago but will also be traveling to Haiti and some remote areas for missions work. Not having lived there before, I was just going by information offered by others. I'll probably bring some med's along as a "just in case". Glad to hear that malaria is not really a problem there.
