I was going there in January. Should I make a contigency plan if things get much worst? Perhaps Oman, or something.
Just bring a Rx of doxycycline or other approved antibiotic. There are rare occurrences in the Western USA...and there was a minor outbreak when we traveled to Madagascar in Dec 2014. We brought doxycycline as a precaution but never needed it.
