I've seen a lot of conflicting information regarding whether kawasaki 500 vista cruise control or not anti-malaria pills are needed when visiting Java, especially the Borobudur area. It seems the CDC used to say there was "high risk" there, but now I cannot find anything about Borobudur on their current site. Other health sites still mention Borobudur, but I'm wondering if that is outdated information. We'll be spending only 1 night at Monohara Hotel at Borobudur, so it seems our risk would be pretty low but I don't want to assume so and not get the pills if they are needed or recommended.
I asked my doctor and he told me to check the CDC and fax him a copy of their recommendations and he would write the prescription if needed. Unfortunately, what is on that site is very vague in regards to where we are actually going.
I'm not qualified kawasaki 500 vista cruise control to give medical advice so this is personal and anecdotal only. I've never taken malaria medication during all my time living in traveling in Indonesia (25 years). I don't know any residents that do. Incidents of malaria among people I know is also very, very rare. In fact, I can only think of one case, and that may have been contracted in India.
The best thing you can do is to find a doctor who actually knows something about tropical medicine rather than asking you to do the research. If my doctor had suggested that I "check the CDC and fax him a copy of their recommendations and he would write the prescription if needed" I would be changing my doctor!
The nhs website above is widely regarded as one of the more up to date sources, mainly because huge amounts of research and collation of information on tropical diseases are done by the London and Liverpool Schools of tropical medicine and, personally, I would be guided kawasaki 500 vista cruise control by that source in preference to any other.
It matter not one iota whether other people have visited, or lived in countries and not contracted malaria -it only takes one bite. Whether or not you decide to take the medication is, of course, entirely your decision but whatever you decide, do take as many precaution as is practicable not to get bitten kawasaki 500 vista cruise control which is the only sure way of avoiding the disease.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Hanuman,I had looked at Java on that CDC site, but it's pretty vague. Apparently, as recently as two or three years ago, the CDC made specific reference to the area around Borobudur as being "high risk".
