Zika travel recommendations by traveler type and country category
Know before you go! Zika continues to be a problem in many parts of the world. There is no vaccine to prevent infection. Zika is mainly transmitted through the bite of an infected person Aedes mosquito species (Ae. aegypt And Ae. albopictus). Zika can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects.
Your decision to delay or cancel a trip is personal and complex. When making this decision, consider your travel destination and your ability to protect yourself from mosquito bites. The CDC recommends that pregnant women and couples planning a pregnancy within the next 3 months consult a health care provider before making this decision.

1These countries are at potential risk for Zika, but we do not have precise information on the current risk level. As a result, the detection and reporting of new outbreaks could be delayed.
