Dominican Republic - Malaria tablets??

Best to check with the doctor for up to date information. I went in 2008 and didn't need malaria tablets.

Can't help with injections as whatever was recommended we had already.

My favourite resort in Puerto Plata. Amazing food!

We already had our injections as we'd been for top ups previously, but I think they were: Hepatitus A & B, tetanus-diphtheria and typhoid. I'd already had the MMR.

Can't remember what the malaria tablets were called, but we had to take them every week, starting 2 weeks before travel, during and for a few weeks after travel. Think it was 2 tablets once a week. I can find out for you. One word of advice: take them with fruit juice not water! You won't taste them as much! We were advised to take the tablets each time we have been (2007, 2008, and 2009).

We had to take Malaria tablets when we went last year, and I had to have an injection, I think it was hep c, not definate on that though, OH didnt have to have it as his was still in date.

Very jealous your going! We went for our honeymoon and it was amazing!

WSS - they are disgusting! Really need to be taken with a strong flavour drink!

It was fantastic, and the GV has the best bit of that beach too.

You should be able to get all you need from your GP - I think they charge for holiday jabs these days but it's better than getting sick. Last I checked malaria tablets were on the 'take it or leave it' list, but I wouldn't take the chance.
