If you work in vaccines, you are probably familiar with colorful book descriptions:
- The “Red Book,” which is the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases
- The “Pink Book,” which is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Epidemiology and Preventions of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (VPD)
- The “Purple Book,” which is Gary Marshall’s Practical Guide about Vaccines for Clinicians
And, hopefully, you are also familiar with the “Yellow Book,” the CDC’s Health Information for International Travelers. The 2024 edition of the “Yellow Book” is now available.
The updated guidance includes information about COVID-19 and international travel, practicing travel medicine in a virtual environment, recommendations for several high-risk groups during international travel, country-specific mosquito avoidance, and new tables related to vaccines and bacterial and viral diseases.
