Subject: 6 wk. post partum mom traveling from US to S. Africa- 
Immunizations?


>I am working with a mother who will be 6 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding 
>when she takes a week vacation to S. Africa with her husband (trip can not 
>be delayed). I believe she will be in Cape town and visiting Kruger 
>National Park. I have looked up information on the CDC's website for 
>overseas travel and vaccinations. But, have questions about the Malaria 
>vaccination specifically. The mother stated that her information says the 
>Choloroquine is not effective for the area that she will be visiting and 
>that some other Malaria medications are taken before the trip and others 
>are taken after. Anyone have information that you would like to share on 
>what is best? Also, anything else that this mother needs to consider? Baby 
>and older child who was breastfed for 1 year will be staying home, mom will 
>be double pumping and dumping.
