A member asked:
Hi doctor. i will be travelling to hazyview. mpumalanga. from johannesburg. would i be required to take malaria medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes: There is very little malaria in SA and you will not be "required" to take anti-malaria anywhere. The area you are traveling to is very close to the malaria areas of Kruger National Park. The factors against anti-malaria medication are: air-conditioned hotels, urban areas, travel between May - September, minimal exposure dusk to dawn, and a very short itinerary. Use an insect repellant.
