Climate change is influencing the incidence and geographical locations of non-mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as rabies, cholera, and typhoid. In addition, mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as Dengue and Chikungunya are emerging and have been associated with outbreaks in many parts of the US. Vaccination for both diseases have been introduced but may have limited availability or require guidance on integration into travel medicine clinics. Despite not being endemic, malaria cases have also increased in the US, thus a primer on appropriate management is needed. Pharmacists must remain up to date regarding these changes in order to provide optimal preventative care for patients.
Target Audience:
This activity was planned to meet the educational needs of pharmacists. The content is relevant for pharmacists providing preventive care for patients who are traveling.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify resources available to pharmacists regarding travel-related vaccinations
- Explain the mechanisms by which climate change has impacted the incidence and geographical presence of cholera, typhoid, dengue fever, and rabies
- Appraise vaccination options for both mosquito-borne and non-mosquito-borne illnesses
- Describe available prophylactic and treatment options for malaria
