sis there's no malaria injection its in the form of a tablet which you need to take two weeks before you go and during your vacation and two weeks after you come home in every day but there's is no malaria in mindanao only in parts of manila as said in the foreign office web. you need a typhoid injection and the hepatitis A as these prevent water born diseases also keep up to date with tetanus injection and polio which is taken orally.
