TRAVEL LINKS
Department of Health travel information.(R)
World Health Organisation. (R)
CDC Atlanta Georgia travel health information with an American flavour but authoritative(R)
The Foreign Office Travel Advice Page. More to do with practical and political problems - but then bullets are a health hazard! (R)
British Airways Travel Clinics No you don't have to be travelling by B A and we're not biased as to which airline you use but they are an excellent and authoritative resource. The nearest one to Darlington is at the University Medical Centre in Newcastle/Tyne. Tel. No.: 0191 230 3721.
Aventis Pasteur. This website is produced by the company that manufactures a lot of vaccines and has information about travel health and vaccination.
CIA. Yes the CIA have a website. They have an extensive amount of economic and political data on every country in the world but it's not necessarily totally up to date.
http://www.oratory.com/travel. An American site but some useful travel tips
Travel Health Online: Another American site with a commercial flavour but seems quite authoritative.
http://www.tmvc.com.au/info10.html.Australian. Certainly worth looking at if you're going to the Southern Hemisphere.
http://www.chu-rouen.fr/cap/svhomeng.html A French site based in Rouen. You go to a home page in English - all the pages are in both languages if you want to try out your French. A bit dry and academic, in contrast to the American sites.
Mapquest is a database containing maps of varying scales right down to street maps. Extensive coverage including Europe and North America.
