Editor's Notes
- Touch on CDC brand, what we do in Travelers’ Health
- This year, US residents will travel for leisure, business, to visit friends and family, to study or teach abroad, and to provide humanitarian aid Figure comes from OTTIC
- Here’s what that looks like on an international scale. These are all international routes on any given day. For us, this means that an infectious disease can get from any place in the world to another within 24 hours, exposing travelers to diseases we’re not used to seeing every day.
- We’ve seen high profile examples of the role that travelers play in the movement of diseases around the world. Diseases like Zika, Ebola, chikungunya, MERS and measles can travel as fast as a plane can fly.
- Sensational stories from the headlines might not always resonate or be applicable to most travelers. However, everyone traveling internationally should be aware of CDC’s resources. Your readers might not know it, but international travel (especially to developing countries) carries a significant risk to your health.
- The cost of getting sick during travel can be steep
- CDC has a variety of tools available to help travelers stay healthy during their trips. You can use these tools and share this information to the benefit of your readers.
- *One of top websites at CDC* Travelers want information and are more and more seeking trusted sources
- Website highlights – mention Destination Pages, Travel Notices, and Information Centers
- Explanation of our notices
- Free, credible health content for your website, apps, and social media – the Public Health Media Library provides code to syndicate web content from across the CDC.
- For example, you can syndicate a complete list of our current travel health notices. This allows you to provide your readers with the most up to date information without needing to update anything manually.
- Brief overview of Yellow Book, including availability as an app – might not resonate directly with bloggers or readers, but is the cornerstone of our recommendations.
- Easy steps – choose your country, answer questions about your food or drink choices, and receive a recommendation.
