Compliance with preventive measures against malaria of personnel treated in the centre of international vaccination of the Minister of Defence (Spain).

CONCLUSIONS: The general protection measures against malaria were met in a high percentage, whilst the use of chemoprophylaxis was very low. These epidemiological data allowed us to know the validity of the health education that is provided in the traveller's care consultation. It also allowed being aware of the possibilities of infection and import of malaria by personnel of the Spanish Armed Forces. The traveller's office will reinforce the importance of taking the adequate chemo-prophylaxis trough conferences and informative diptychs.. PMID: 31965778 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
