Health Information for Travelers

Greater Seattle is the most trade-dependent region in the United States and many of our citizens and businesses travel extensively internationally. With the concerns about avian flu and pandemic flu outbreaks, we are providing links to web sites with information on avian flu and other infectious diseases. You can find here, in one location, links to the WHO, CDC and other useful web sites. We also have links to health information web sites in regions affected by avian flu. We hope this web site will be a helpful educational tool for business travelers, tourists and students to investigate current health situations around the world. If you know of other web sites we should include, please let us know.
