Vaccine, hygiene: First, get vaccinated. On arrival, check with local medical or public health authorities about cases in the immediate vicinity. (A whole city or region may be listed, but outbreaks usually are localized.) Drink bottled or boiled water, especially outside major hotels. Avoid ice; eat only peeled fruit and cooked veggies; careful toilet hygiene; and frequently use alcohol gel like Purel.

Vaccination: Get vaccination before travel to the area. Avoid using local water or any food that has not been heated to a boil.
