Guidelines for the prevention of travel-associated illness in older adults
2017
International travel to the developing world is becoming more common in elderly patients (defined here as individuals greater than 65 years old).

These guidelines present an evidence-based approach to pre-travel counseling, immunization, and pharmacology concerns unique to elderly patients seeking care in a travel clinic setting.
