CDC Releases Updated "Yellow Book" on International Travel
The CDC has released its biennial revision of "the yellow book," a health guide for international travel. The book describes travel-related infections and diseases endemic to each region. Changes in the latest edition include updates on recommended immunizations, developments in malaria treatment and prevention, advice for avoiding deep vein thrombosis while flying, and a section on avian influenza. The yellow-covered book, officially titled "CDC Health Information for International Travel 2008," is available free online (and can also be purchased in bookstores).
