Hello. My wife Lindsey and I are making our first scouting trip to Boquete and we are excited! Our doctor recommended that we take antimalarials. I have been trying to research the matter online but the information is sparse and conflicting. Do expats in panama generally take antimalarials? Is malaria even a general concern?

I hope this question doesn't offend anybody - I would just prefer not to take anything unnecessary. Thank you for your thoughts!
