Abstract
Abstract The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a web page called “Travelers’ Health” to assist individuals with preparing for expectations regarding health while traveling. While a heavy emphasis is placed on the COVID-19 aspect of travel (including vaccine and testing requirements), this web page also focuses on health and travel information for a wide variety of diseases, destinations, and modes of travel. An interactive map provides users with a visual guide to high-risk areas, and a listing of health information is provided for countries all over the world. Utilizing the Travelers’ Health web page can encourage travelers to be prepared on how to stay healthy while away from home.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
