Information update for Jamaica

Here is an update from my Jamaica Product Manager -

FYI



This email is to provide information regarding recent reported cases of malaria in Kingston, Jamaica.

First, and foremost, there is no threat of malaria in the tourist areas of Jamaica.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as of December 4, antimalaria medication is recommended for ONLY those who may overnight in Kingston. This recommendation is expected to be temporary. Travelers to other areas of the island do not need to take an antimalarial drug.

Should customers desire to take extra precaution, they may want to use insect repellent on exposed skin surfaces when outdoors, particularly from dusk to dawn. Repellents containing 30%-50% DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) are recommended. Lower concentrations of DEET offer shorter-term protection, requiring more frequent reapplication.

The Jamaican Ministry of Health is taking immediate measures to control and eradicate any traces of the disease quickly. Updated information may be found at the CDC website at: www.cdc.gov. Further updates will be sent as necessary.
