New Traveller Needs Advice About Anti-malarials in Calcutta

Posted by: Sudala on Oct 5, 12 at 12:56 PM Posted in: Asia Tagged: Jump to last reply

Hi,
I am arriving in Calcutta in November and will be staying for 2 days before going on to the Sikkim Province and then Northern Bhutan for about two weeks. I will then be flying back into Calcutta for an overnight stay before returning home. I believe Sikkim and Northern Bhutan are low risk areas for malaria, but Calcutta is a medium risk area. Will I need to take anti-malarials when I am staying there (Calcutta) for such a short time? Very confused and would appreciate advice from seasoned travellers.
Thanks - any advice will be much appreciated.
S
