Malaria Prevention
Malaria Prevention
Malaria remains one of the more serious risks for travellers to parts of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. There's no vaccine routinely offered to UK travellers, so prevention relies on the right combination of tablets and bite avoidance.
What you actually need depends on exactly where you're going, how long for, and your own health history. Book a consultation, and we'll match a prevention plan to your real itinerary.

What a solid malaria prevention plan should cover
The right combination depends on your route, but most plans bring together a few key elements.
- Destination-matched antimalarial tablets
- Correct start, dosing, and finish timing
- Mosquito bite prevention (repellent, nets, clothing)
- Awareness of early symptoms if they develop
- A plan for remote or rural stops
- Guidance for multi-country itineraries
Why it's worth planning ahead
Malaria prevention isn't one-size-fits-all, and getting it wrong can leave you exposed.
Resistance Varies by Region
Tablets that work well in one country may not be the right choice for another.
Timing Matters
Some tablets need to be started several days before you travel.
Mild Symptoms Can Escalate Fast
Malaria can become serious quickly without the right prevention or treatment.
