Peru
Amazon prevention; highland tourist stops differ
CDC prevention areas
Below 2,500 m east of the Andes, including Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado.
Important distinction
Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lima and Lake Titicaca do not usually need malaria pills; mosquito precautions still matter.
Other planning
Altitude planning for highland overnight stays; yellow fever may be recommended for Amazon areas. It is not required for entry.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.
CDC includes Mumbai and New Delhi; altitude and exact location matter.
Important distinction
CDC reports no transmission above 2,000 m in specified high-altitude areas. Check the map for your stops.
Other planning
Yellow fever is not recommended for exposure in India, but entry requirements can apply after travel or transit through risk countries. Check the detailed rules.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.
Prevention for specific states, not most resort itineraries
CDC prevention areas
Campeche, Chiapas and southern Chihuahua.
Important distinction
Other areas with reported transmission use mosquito precautions rather than routine pills; Cancun and the usual resort routes are outside the listed prevention areas.
Other planning
Food and water precautions and individual diarrhea planning; yellow fever vaccination is not recommended or required for Mexico.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.
Prevention recommended in listed provinces, including resorts
CDC prevention areas
Azua, Elías Piña, La Altagracia (Punta Cana), San Juan and Santo Domingo. Resort stays do not remove the recommendation.
Important distinction
Other areas generally use mosquito precautions. Confirm the province and any Santo Domingo side trips with the clinician.
Other planning
Yellow fever vaccination is not recommended for local exposure; entry rules apply to arrivals from specified Brazilian states, including some long airport transits.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.
Bali resort areas differ from other Indonesian islands
CDC prevention areas
Eastern Indonesia, including Labuan Bajo and Komodo; rural areas of Kalimantan, Lombok, Sulawesi and Sumatra, and some rural Java areas.
Important distinction
CDC lists no transmission in Ubud, Jakarta, Bali/Java resort areas, the Gili Islands or Thousand Islands. Do not extend that advice to every nearby island.
Other planning
Yellow fever entry vaccination can be required after arrival from a risk country. Review food, water, mosquito and vaccine needs for the full itinerary.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.
Most areas below 2,500 m, including game parks and the coast.
Important distinction
The highly urbanized central part of Nairobi is an exception: CDC recommends mosquito precautions without routine pills there. A safari side trip changes the plan.
Other planning
Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for much of Kenya, with geographic exceptions and separate entry requirements.
Bidwell’s role
A clinician may prescribe doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil if it fits your complete itinerary and health. Vaccines require another service.

How to read this
Risk can change within a country, and prevention must cover every risk-area stop plus the required after-exposure period. Bidwell considers doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil for eligible adults; it does not automatically prescribe antibiotics, patches or altitude pills based on a destination alone. It does not provide vaccines, including oral typhoid. Read how the clinician assesses an itinerary.
