Health Recommendations for Travelers 2004 (for Healthcare Professionals)
These recommendations were developed by the Committee on Travel-Related and Imported Diseases and approved by the French High Council for Public Health at its meeting on May 14, 2004. They take into account data from the National Reference Center for the Epidemiology of Imported and Indigenous Malaria (CNREPIA) and the National Reference Center for Malaria Chemoresistance (CNRCP). This text essentially reiterates the recommendations from 2003. Additional recommendations concern influenza vaccination for flight and cruise ship crews, travel industry personnel (guides), and cholera vaccination for healthcare workers going to work with patients or in refugee camps during an epidemic. The recommendations in this document cannot account for risks associated with emerging diseases, such as the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) epidemic, which originated in southern China in 2002–2003 and subsequently spread to other regions. Recommendations for travelers are therefore subject to change depending on developments in the international situation. (R.A.)
