Summer vacation is now upon us, and with that comes travel. Among the many databases and web sites librarians access to gather vital information for international travel is the traveler's site prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): TRAVELERS HEALTH wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel
The drop down menu in the Destinations window yields a listing of 238 countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. The bulk of the narrative information on the homepage concerns trip preparations, necessary vaccinations, traveling with pets and special-needs individuals, prevalent diseases, items to bring and how to maintain good health during your trip.
The CDC Traveler's Health site is an invaluable source of detailed and authoritative information covering every aspect of international travel as it pertains to health and safety concerns.
So HAPPY SUMMER and HAVE A GREAT VACATION!
