- Description
- The Travelers? Health Team within the CDC Geographic Medicine and Health Promotion Branch, Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) has responsibility for the prevention of infectious diseases and non-infectious ailments among travelers which is a high priority for safeguarding the health of U.S. citizens. The Travelers? Health Team makes information available electronically, via its website (www.cdc.gov/travel); a toll-free automated hotline; answering public inquiries; and a textbook for health-care providers, Health Information for International Travel (the ?Yellow Book?). The Yellow Book, also available in its entirety online, has long been considered the ?gold standard? of travel medicine, both in the United States and abroad. Information contained in the Yellow Book is heavily relied on by health-care practitioners, travelers, the travel industry, and others who advise travelers, and is frequently cited in medical as well as non-medical publications, including news media such as the New York Times and the Washington Post. The production team for the Yellow Book continues to work towards creating a resource that contains current health recommendations for international travel, delivered in a user-friendly format that can be readily applied in the clinical setting. The book is published every two years and the changes in the 2008 book included a substantially enhanced chapter on influenza that covers avian influenza and the threat of pandemic influenza. New chapters on skin and soft tissue infections and deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism were added, as well as sections on health risks for humanitarian workers and the differing responsibilities that the clinician, traveler, and travel industry each have in providing and obtaining the best information on health risks abroad.
