Tips for Tuesdays: Finding a Great Travel Doctor

Today's Tip: Traveling internationally? With yellow fever (and more) making headlines, it's very important to find a doctor who knows the latest in travel precautions. Plus, most general practitioners won't have the vaccines you'll need on hand (typhoid, for example). Search the International Society of Travel Medicine database for a list of health providers who specialize in pretravel immunizations. 

Also, the CDC Travelers' Health web page offers a vaccination guide as well as notices for high-risk locations, and the World Health Organization puts out a helpful International Travel and Health report annually.
