We are planning to take a trip to Panama in November but want to avoid having to take malaria preventatives as I am pregnant and we have a 15 month old. Is Panama a good choice?
Is malaria an issue in Panama? Pregnant and traveling w/ a toddler.

Be more specific about where in Panama you're going. It's an issue in parts of the country.
Your local doctor will refer to this guide, freely available to the public and updated often.

In particular, take note of Yellow Fever restrictions in your own country, I am visiting Panama in December and even though I am not travelling into a strictly active Yellow Fever zone, it is growing. So, I am required to show a 'yellow book' upon arrival home in Australia, displaying information on my Yellow Fever immunisations.
