There is a low malaria risk in most of the country. We recommend the use of mosquito-repellent measures from dusk till morning.
In the central highlands below 1500 meter, bordering Cambodia (Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai and Kon Tum), there is a moderate malaria risk. We recommend the use of mosquito-repellent measures from dusk till morning. For people with an increased risk, we sometimes recommend preventive malaria tablets, or taking an emergency treatment with you. Due to resistance problems, the use of mefloquin (Lariam®) is not recommended.
In the urban areas (like Hanoi, Danang, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh, etc.), the delta areas of the Red River and the Mekong River, the islands Dao Phu Quoc and Dao Tho Chu and in most of the touristic coastal provinces there is no risk of malaria.
In case of fever during or after your journey, get tested for malaria as soon as possible.
