Panama

Panama, the slender bridge between Central and South America, offers a stunning blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Visitors can explore the vibrant cosmopolitan life of Panama City, with its towering skyline and historic Panama Viejo ruins. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Panama is a haven, boasting lush rainforests perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and ziplining. The country's dual coastlines on the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea offer idyllic beaches, from the Azuero Sunset Coast to the serene shores of Bocas del Toro. With its diverse cuisine, rich history, and warm hospitality, Panama invites travelers to experience the best of both worlds—modern sophistication and untamed nature.

Common Medications

Preparing for a trip to Panama involves safeguarding your health with the right medications. Malaria prevention may be recommended for those visiting rural areas, while antibiotics like Azithromycin can be helpful for treating traveler’s diarrhea. Additionally, carrying remedies for motion sickness, allergies, and minor cuts or scrapes is advised for adventurers exploring Panama’s rainforests or coastlines. Runway Health provides online consultations and access to FDA-approved medications, ensuring you're well-equipped for your journey.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Panama, verify that your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza. Vaccinations for Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and rabies are strongly recommended, especially for extended stays or visits to remote areas. While yellow fever vaccination is not required for all travelers, it is necessary if you’re arriving from a yellow fever risk country or planning to visit certain forested regions. Mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are present, so using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and sleeping under mosquito nets are effective preventive measures. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
