This document, issued by the United Nations Medical Directors in July 2021, outlines vaccination and malaria prophylaxis recommendations for UN personnel travelling on official business and UN healthcare workers. The guidance aims to minimise the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and malaria by f...ocusing on three key areas:(1) routine vaccines, such as those for influenza, measles, polio, hepatitis B, varicella and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the disease known as 'Covid-19'), which are recommended for all staff regardless of their destination;
(2) destination-based measures, including mandatory vaccines (e.g. yellow fever, meningitis and polio), recommended vaccines depending on regional risks (e.g. cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A and rabies) and WHO-advised malaria prevention through mosquito protection and chemoprophylaxis. The third area covers vaccines for healthcare workers with direct patient or laboratory exposure, including hepatitis B, influenza, diphtheria, pertussis and others. The recommendations emphasise the importance of pre-travel medical consultations, adherence to host country requirements, and individualised risk assessments.

El reciente aumento de los casos de microcefalia y de otros trastornos neurológicos posiblemente asociados a la infección por el virus de Zika ha provocado un aumento de la demanda de pruebas de laboratorio para detectar dicha infección. Los grupos prioritarios para la realización de pruebas di...agnósticas son los pacientes sintomáticos y las embarazadas asintomáticas posiblemente expuestas al virus.
En el presente documento, que será revisado y actualizado cuando se disponga de más información, se ofrece orientación sobre las actuales estrategias relativas a la realización de pruebas para la infección por el virus de Zika.
