Thank you :)
But not sure if anyone will travel soon.
what doe sthe website says ABOUT oMAN:
Malaria risk in remote areas in the north including Musandam province - regimen 2. Muscat is considered malaria free
Oman was announced to be malaria free for a long time..we only get symptomatic cases from travellers. How reliable is that site Now.
I guess visa offices do provide information about vaccins to be taken

^^^ regarding the site you can see that was last updated on 2005 till now and Yes Oman is considered as Malaria free but still there are some few cases I have seen a case of Malaria last year was from Salalah region he wasn't a traveller, I think meaning free doesn't literally mean 100% still there are some few cases according to the nature of their living area and in comparison to the majorty of the population few cases in front of the big population is considered free
I guess visa offices do provide information about vaccins to be taken
^^^It should be a must not a guess:os
Nope not all of the visa offices provide such an important iformation!!! especially for the high risk countries!!!!
as an example the reason why I would like to share at least an-idea to the Public, for the expected diseases which might be cought in some of the countries, then accordingly they can make sure by asking Ministry of helth services wether they require to take that majors or not according to the advice they get from them,
One of my relatives got a visa to a country with high risk of p.Falciparm Malaria and other diseases without a single information for the required prophylactic majors or vaccinations required before travelling to that country, he suffered from malaria even not knowing what was going on him!!!
Whom we should blame at this point, if they didn't give proper information?!!!!
The visa people or Ministry of health not controlling these offices and advicing the travellers!!!
If we know others don't;)
