[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 664371, member: 10291"] I didn't require any shots, nor did my buddy on recent trips to southern Africa. I would always make sure your tetanus shots are in effect for anywhere. I personally would not get a malaria med if the pro said I didn't need one. Drugs to avoid malaria are very area dependent and they loose their immunity in time. I did take them in the areas I hunted because it was infested with malarial mosquitoes along the rivers we hunted. My second trip required a different drug, Larium, and had side lousy effects. My first trip was a quinine based drug, Methoquine, which was fine. Unfortunately the bug developed an immunity to it by the time my second trip was set. Having said all that, every person has a different view, and you should do what makes you comfortable. The CDC can tell you which drug to use for a particular part of the world. [/QUOTE]
