"All clinicians who give travel advice should be familiar with "The
Yellow Book."
This is the preeminent book for travel recommendations and the most
up-to-date resource in print. Travel clinics should either have
this book on hand or have access to the website. The fact that a
new edition is available every two years reflects the necessity of
staying current in this dynamic field.
