Malaria

Do people actually take malaria meds while they’re in Vietnam?  I know that HCMC and Hanoi are considered to be safe, and that the CDC recommends medication if you’re going to be in “rural” areas.  Since, generally, PAPs spend most of their time in malaria-free zones, with the exception of the time spent getting to and from and during their G&R’s, do people just risk it?  I’ve either had or am getting the other recommended vaccinations, but wondered about malaria.  This wondering, of course, has nothing to do with news of an impending travel date (far from it – still no I-600 to file).  Just trying to think of something other than the fact that I’m not going to be in VN anytime soon.
