There's no malaria vaccine. There are a number of drugs used for prophylaxis taken for different periods of time depending on the drug. I have United Healthcare PPO with rx plan administered by Medco and they covered Malarone (I imagine they cover other drugs as well). I didn't have to explain anything. FWIW I don't plan to take it for Belize.

Did you find something yet? Don't know what kind of place you're looking for or your price range but this place is fairly new so may have availability
