CDC Media Advisory: CDC Releases 2016 Edition of the Yellow Book

CDC Releases 2016 Edition of the Yellow Book

New edition provides updated health information for international travel

 

 What:              The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released the 2016 edition of “CDC Health Information for International

Travel,” commonly known as the Yellow Book. Nicknamed for its yellow cover and published biennially, the book is the ultimate guide for healthy international travel. The most recent version includes updated sections on emerging global diseases, including Ebola, MERS and chikungunya. The 2016 edition also features expanded guidelines for 16 popular travel destinations, including Brazil, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, and Haiti.

 

The 2016 edition includes the following new features:

  • Yellow fever vaccination recommendation maps for 10 countries
  • 15 country-specific malaria risk maps
  • Comprehensive advice for health care workers traveling to provide care overseas
  • Discussion of complementary and alternative health approaches to travel medicine
  • Commentary on the cost analysis of travel health care

 

Popular features from previous editions remain in the 2016 edition, including information on cruise ship travel, food and water precautions, and health advice for international adoptions.

 

When:            Friday, July 10, 2015

 

Where:          http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/yellowbook-home

 

Background:   A team of over 200 experts updates this health guide every two years. The Yellow Book provides the latest official CDC recommendations to keep international travelers safe and healthy. It includes a complete catalog of travel-related diseases and up-to-date vaccine and booster recommendations. But the information in the book does not stop with infectious diseases. It also includes advice about preventing and treating common travel-related ailments such as altitude illness, motion sickness, and jet lag. The book offers useful tips on topics such as traveling with pets, packing a travel health kit, avoiding counterfeit medications in foreign countries, and getting travel health and evacuation insurance for emergencies. In addition, the Yellow Book provides advice for travelers with unique health needs, such as people traveling with young children, individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and those traveling for humanitarian aid work or study abroad. The Yellow Book is written primarily for health professionals but is a useful resource for anyone interested in healthy international travel.

 

“Venturing out to see the world has many rewards, but travelers may also face health risks at their destination. Travelers can minimize those risks by receiving appropriate pre-travel health care as they prepare for any trip. With the 2016 edition of the Yellow Book, we offer the US government’s most current and comprehensive reference for clinicians who provide travel-related health care. The book can also be an excellent resource for travelers to learn more about staying healthy while they are overseas. We hope the new edition is useful to a wide audience, from the most experienced travel medicine specialists to first time travelers abroad,” said Gary Brunette, M.D., chief of CDC’s Travelers’ Health Branch.

 

For travelers and clinicians who want to take the Yellow Book with them, a new mobile app with the complete 2016 edition will be available for purchase on iOS and Android devices in September. The Yellow Book is published in print by Oxford University Press and is available to order from their website or from most major online booksellers. The content is also available at CDC’s Traveler’s Health website, www.cdc.gov/travel. In addition to providing the Yellow Book, the CDC Travelers’ Health website lets travelers search by destination and find information about basic travel health preparations and what to do if sick or injured while traveling. It is updated as travel health threats emerge and new information becomes available.

CDC versus Ebola: The Road to Zero

CDC responders describe the battle against Ebola in multimedia report

 

The Ebola epidemic that began in West Africa in early 2014 continues today. With more than 27,000 reported Ebola cases and more than 11,000 deaths, the scope has been unprecedented. Equally extraordinary is the scale and duration of the response by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and partners. Today, CDC is releasing a multimedia report describing the experiences of the agency’s Ebola responders.

 

Since the outbreak began, CDC has sent more than 1,200 experts in various disciplines to Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and surrounding countries. Many deployed more than once and also volunteered to return as long as the epidemic persists. Thousands more CDC staff have worked on the response from the agency’s Atlanta headquarters, as well as in hospitals, labs and airports; other CDC campuses in the U.S., and CDC country offices around world.

 

“The global response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa is unprecedented, and hard work by thousands has helped contain the virus in most of the region,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “We will never forget either those impacted by this terrible epidemic or the heroic public health professionals who responded.”

The report highlights CDC employees’ work testing blood samples in field laboratories, traveling remote trails and rivers to track case contacts, teaching Ebola prevention strategies in local communities, protecting borders by screening and monitoring travelers, and strengthening hospital infection control practices.
