When the height of the travel season subsides with the start of school, every other year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention releases its annual Health Information for International Travel book (commonly called the Yellow Book) for healthcare professionals. This fully revised and updated resource codifies the U.S. government’s most current travel health guidelines, including pre-travel vaccine recommendations, destination-specific health advice, and easy to reference maps, tables, and other charts.

Specifically, the 2018 release contains the:

• Latest information about emerging infectious disease threats such as Zika, Ebola and MERS    
• New cholera vaccine recommendations
• Updated guidance on the use of antibiotics in the treatment of travelers’ diarrhea
• Special considerations for unique types of travel, such as wilderness expeditions, work-related travel, and study abroad
• Destination-specific recommendations for popular itineraries, including new sections for travelers to Cuba and Burma
