There's a vaccine for this

Follow sensible food, water and bite precautions, and have a word with our pharmacist about protecting yourself.

Steer clear of daytime mosquito bites. If you're pregnant or hoping to be, have a chat with us before you book, and use condoms as Zika can pass on sexually.
