CDC Travelers’ Health is pleased to announce that Yellow Fever: Information for Health-Care Professionals Advising Travelers is now available on the CDC Travelers’ Health website. This free, online course is designed to provide a variety of health-care professionals with comprehensive training on yellow fever disease and yellow fever vaccine.
The course comprises two lessons. Lesson 1 — Yellow Fever: History, Epidemiology, and Vaccine Information — explores the history and epidemiology of yellow fever disease and outlines the safe, CDC-recommended use of the yellow fever vaccine.
Lesson 2 — The Pre-Travel Consultation and Best Practices for Yellow Fever Vaccine Providers and Clinics — instructs learners on how to conduct a thorough pre-travel consultation and outlines best practices for providers and clinics that give yellow fever vaccination.
Continuing Education (CE) credit will be available through CDC for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and health educators who complete both lessons of the course. The course can be accessed directly from http://www.cdc.gov/travel-training/.
