Get trip-ready with at-home COVID-19 tests
How often is the data on this page updated.
We check for travel restriction information from government authorities daily, and update the page any time we get new information. The following information regarding travel restrictions for each country is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of publication.
How many countries are closed to visitors?
As of Sep 11, 2 countries have completely restricted entry to non-citizens and 5 are open but require quarantine and/or a negative COVID test.
Where can I travel without COVID restrictions?
Currently you can travel from the United States to 197 countries without restrictions. Please check our map to learn more.
Are there any other types of travel restrictions besides COVID-19 tests and quarantines?
These are the two main types of restrictions or requirements needed to travel into another country. However, the COVID-19 testing options are continually widening as new methods are developed. Different countries may accept results from different or multiple test types, so be sure to check the individual country's specific requirements.
What should I do if I get COVID-19 while in another country?
If you get COVID-19 while in another country, follow the local authority's recommendations. These may include hospitalization, self-isolating and testing in that country. Be sure to contact your travel insurance company and travel provider as well and inform them of your situation.
What should I do if the borders of the country I am visiting close?
Depending on your home country, you may need to change your departure date and return home as soon as possible. If that's the case, contact your travel provider to find the earliest departure.

An interactive map shows where you can travel right now depending on your location and vaccination status
- As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues, people want to know where they can travel right now.
- A new map from Sherpa shows where you can travel based on your destination and vaccination status.
- Travelers can enter their departure and arrival locations to see what restrictions apply to them.
As more people around the world receive the COVID-19 vaccine , and with travel restrictions constantly shifting, many are wondering where they can travel right now.
To help travelers figure out where they can and can't travel, travel company Sherpa created an interactive map tool that shows travelers where they can go based on their departure location and vaccination status.
How to use Sherpa's interactive map
Travelers can use Sherpa's map in several different ways.
To view travel restrictions by country, users can hover over a country on the map. This prompts a pop-up box with an overview of the country's current policies for inbound travelers.
For easy reference, countries are color-coded according to the number and type of restrictions they have in place, ranging from "travel is open" to "entry is restricted."
Travelers can also hide certain destinations on the map based on their restrictions levels by clicking on the "Filters" box in the top right-hand corner and selecting specific restriction levels.
To check restrictions for a specific trip, users can select their departure and arrival destinations in the top left-hand corner.
After entering in departure and arrival destinations, a pop-up box appears detailing travel restrictions, documents you must have for your trip, as well as details and exemptions, like having to pass a temperature screening at the airport or wear face masks in public. Sherpa also links out to official government websites and forms.
For example, if you're looking to visit Barbados from the United States before May 8, the map shows that you will need to quarantine for five days upon arrival at an approved hotel or villa. It links out to an update from Visit Barbados detailing changes that will take place after May 8.
You can use Sherpa's interactive map on its website.

Get Vaccinated Before You Travel
It’s important to plan ahead to get the shots required for all countries you and your family plan to visit.
Protect your child and family when traveling in the United States or abroad by:
- Getting the shots required for all countries you and your family plan to visit during your trip
- Making sure you and your family are up-to-date on all routine U.S. vaccines
- Staying informed about travel notices and alerts and how they can affect your family’s travel plans
Avoid getting sick or coming back home and spreading the disease to others.
Vaccinate at least a month before you travel
See your doctor when you start to plan your trip abroad. It’s important to do this well in advance.
- Your body needs time to build up immunity.
- You may need several weeks to get all the doses of the vaccine.
- Your primary doctor may not stock travel vaccines. Visit a travel medical clinic .
- You’ll need time to prepare for your pre-travel appointment .
- If the country you visit requires a yellow fever vaccine , only a limited number of clinics have the vaccine and will probably be some distance from where you live. You must get it at least 10 days before travel.
Find out which vaccines are recommended or required for the countries you plan to visit .
TIP : Save time by getting routine vaccines during the same doctor visit. Use the Vaccine Self-Assessment Tool and discuss the results with your doctor. It tells you which U.S. recommended vaccines you (19 years and older) or your child (birth – 18 years) might need.
Last-minute travelers
When traveling to another country be aware your doctor may not carry a travel vaccine and you may have to visit a medical clinic.
Many travel vaccines require multiple shots or take time to become fully effective. But some multiple-dose vaccines (like hepatitis A) can still give you partial protection after just one dose. Some can also be given on an “accelerated schedule,” meaning doses are given in a shorter period of time.

Vaccines for Travelers
Vaccines protect travelers from serious diseases. Depending on where you travel, you may come into contact with diseases that are rare in the United States, like yellow fever. Some vaccines may also be required for you to travel to certain places.
Getting vaccinated will help keep you safe and healthy while you’re traveling. It will also help make sure that you don’t bring any serious diseases home to your family, friends, and community.
On this page, you'll find answers to common questions about vaccines for travelers.
Which vaccines do I need before traveling?
The vaccines you need to get before traveling will depend on few things, including:
- Where you plan to travel . Some countries require proof of vaccination for certain diseases, like yellow fever or polio. And traveling in developing countries and rural areas may bring you into contact with more diseases, which means you might need more vaccines before you visit.
- Your health . If you’re pregnant or have an ongoing illness or weakened immune system, you may need additional vaccines.
- The vaccinations you’ve already had . It’s important to be up to date on your routine vaccinations. While diseases like measles are rare in the United States, they are more common in other countries. Learn more about routine vaccines for specific age groups .
How far in advance should I get vaccinated before traveling?
It’s important to get vaccinated at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel. This will give the vaccines time to start working, so you’re protected while you’re traveling. It will also usually make sure there’s enough time for you to get vaccines that require more than 1 dose.
Where can I go to get travel vaccines?
Start by finding a:
- Travel clinic
- Health department
- Yellow fever vaccination clinic
Learn more about where you can get vaccines .
What resources can I use to prepare for my trip?
Here are some resources that may come in handy as you’re planning your trip:
- Visit CDC’s travel website to find out which vaccines you may need based on where you plan to travel, what you’ll be doing, and any health conditions you have.
- Download CDC's TravWell app to get recommended vaccines, a checklist to help prepare for travel, and a personalized packing list. You can also use it to store travel documents and keep a record of your medicines and vaccinations.
- Read the current travel notices to learn about any new disease outbreaks in or vaccine recommendations for the areas where you plan to travel.
- Visit the State Department’s website to learn about vaccinations, insurance, and medical emergencies while traveling.
Traveling with a child? Make sure they get the measles vaccine.
Measles is still common in some countries. Getting your child vaccinated will protect them from getting measles — and from bringing it back to the United States where it can spread to others. Learn more about the measles vaccine.

Find out how to get protected .
Travel vaccination advice
If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
Vaccinations are available to protect you against infections such as yellow fever , typhoid and hepatitis A .
In the UK, the NHS routine immunisation (vaccination) schedule protects you against a number of diseases, but does not cover all of the infectious diseases found overseas.
When should I start thinking about the vaccines I need?
If possible, see the GP or a private travel clinic at least 6 to 8 weeks before you're due to travel.
Some vaccines need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity.
And some vaccines involve a number of doses spread over several weeks or months.
You may be more at risk of some diseases, for example, if you're:
- travelling in rural areas
- backpacking
- staying in hostels or camping
- on a long trip rather than a package holiday
If you have a pre-existing health problem, this may make you more at risk of infection or complications from a travel-related illness.
Which travel vaccines do I need?
You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:
- Travel Health Pro
- NHS Fit for Travel
Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.
Saudi Arabia requires proof of vaccination against certain types of meningitis for visitors arriving for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.
Even if an ICVP is not required, it's still a good idea to take a record of the vaccinations you have had with you.
Find out more about the vaccines available for travellers abroad
Where do I get my travel vaccines?
First, phone or visit the GP practice or practice nurse to find out whether your existing UK vaccinations are up-to-date.
If you have any records of your vaccinations, let the GP know what you have had previously.
The GP or practice nurse may be able to give you general advice about travel vaccinations and travel health, such as protecting yourself from malaria.
They can give you any missing doses of your UK vaccines if you need them.
Not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area.
If the GP practice can give you the travel vaccines you need but they are not available on the NHS, ask for:
- written information on what vaccines are needed
- the cost of each dose or course
- any other charges you may have to pay, such as for some certificates of vaccination
You can also get travel vaccines from:
- private travel vaccination clinics
- pharmacies offering travel healthcare services
Which travel vaccines are free?
The following travel vaccines are available free on the NHS from your GP surgery:
- polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab )
- hepatitis A
These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.
Which travel vaccines will I have to pay for?
You'll have to pay for travel vaccinations against:
- hepatitis B
- Japanese encephalitis
- tick-borne encephalitis
- tuberculosis (TB)
- yellow fever
Yellow fever vaccines are only available from designated centres .
The cost of travel vaccines that are not available on the NHS will vary, depending on the vaccine and number of doses you need.
It's worth considering this when budgeting for your trip.
Other things to consider
There are other things to consider when planning your travel vaccinations, including:
- your age and health – you may be more vulnerable to infection than others; some vaccines cannot be given to people with certain medical conditions
- working as an aid worker – you may come into contact with more diseases in a refugee camp or helping after a natural disaster
- working in a medical setting – a doctor, nurse or another healthcare worker may require additional vaccinations
- contact with animals – you may be more at risk of getting diseases spread by animals, such as rabies
If you're only travelling to countries in northern and central Europe, North America or Australia, you're unlikely to need any vaccinations.
But it's important to check that you're up-to-date with routine vaccinations available on the NHS.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Speak to a GP before having any vaccinations if:
- you're pregnant
- you think you might be pregnant
- you're breastfeeding
In many cases, it's unlikely a vaccine given while you're pregnant or breastfeeding will cause problems for the baby.
But the GP will be able to give you further advice about this.
People with immune deficiencies
For some people travelling overseas, vaccination against certain diseases may not be advised.
This may be the case if:
- you have a condition that affects your body's immune system, such as HIV or AIDS
- you're receiving treatment that affects your immune system, such as chemotherapy
- you have recently had a bone marrow or organ transplant
A GP can give you further advice about this.
Non-travel vaccines
As well as getting any travel vaccinations you need, it's also a good opportunity to make sure your other vaccinations are up-to-date and have booster vaccines if necessary.
Although many routine NHS vaccinations are given during childhood, you can have some of them (such as the MMR vaccine ) as an adult if you missed getting vaccinated as a child.
There are also some extra NHS vaccinations for people at higher risk of certain illnesses, such as the flu vaccine , the hepatitis B vaccine and the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) .
Your GP can advise you about any NHS vaccinations you might need.

Does Your Child Need Travel Vaccines Before an International Trip?
If you’re planning an international trip with your child, you may be wondering what vaccines they need and when they should get them. Before you head out of the country, it’s essential to make sure your child is up to date on all of their routine immunizations, including vaccines for COVID-19, flu and RSV. But what additional vaccines should they get? The answer depends on your child’s age and where you’re going.
A Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Care Network pediatrician answers your vaccine questions and shares other tips for protecting your child while traveling.
When should I get my child vaccinated before we travel?
When it comes to travel vaccinations, plan ahead. Your child needs to get immunized well in advance of your departure date, so give yourself plenty of time. “I tell my families that it’s best to come in about six weeks prior to international travel,” says CHLA Care Network member Lauren Nguyen, MD, MPH , a private practice pediatrician with Children’s Medical Group in Torrance, California.
Make an appointment with your child’s pediatrician to go over your travel plans, discuss any recommendations, and get the vaccines. There’s a lot of information to cover, so you’ll need an in-person visit (rather than a phone call).
Planning ahead can help you:
- Get the right dose. Some vaccines require several doses. For example, malaria pills need to be taken daily up to two weeks before you leave, the entire time you’re gone, and up to four weeks after you return home.
- Ensure availability. If your child needs the yellow fever or typhoid vaccine, the pediatrician might need to order it in advance. Pediatricians don’t always keep these special vaccines on hand.
- Maximize protection. Your child’s immune system needs time to develop a robust response. “It takes about two to four weeks to respond to the vaccine and develop the antibodies,” says Dr. Nguyen.
How do I know which travel immunizations my child should get?
The specific vaccine recommendations vary based on where you’re going. Ask your child’s pediatrician for the latest guidelines. You can also go to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Travelers’ Health website . On that page, you’ll find a search bar that allows you to explore information about the country you’ll be visiting. “The CDC website tells you about any current outbreaks as well as the recommended vaccines for that country,” says Dr. Nguyen.
Dr. Nguyen also points out that it’s important to get your child vaccinated if you’re going on a cruise—no matter what the destination is. “The people you’ll be on the ship with might have been vacationing all over the world,” she says. Vaccines can protect your children from a wide range of illnesses these passengers might bring on board.
How do the vaccine recommendations vary based on my child’s age?
If your child is under 1 year old, they may need to get some vaccines earlier than they usually would. For example, on the regular vaccine schedule, children get the first dose of the measles vaccine between 12 and 15 months and the second dose between 4 and 6 years of age. “That changes for international travel,” says Dr. Nguyen. “Children between 6 and 12 months of age should get a first dose of the measles vaccine prior to travel.” That first dose does not replace the other two doses. Your child will still need those on schedule.
The schedule shifts a bit for the hepatitis A vaccine, too. On the regular vaccine schedule, children get the hepatitis A vaccine between 12 and 23 months of age. “Infants 6 to 11 months old should be vaccinated when protection against hepatitis A is recommended for the destination . This dose does not count toward the routine 2-dose series,” says Dr. Nguyen. However, she notes, if your baby is under 2 months, you probably shouldn’t travel internationally unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Children over age 11 should be sure to get the meningitis A (MenACWY) vaccine. This shot is part of the routine childhood vaccine schedule, but it’s not required by public schools in some states. Dr. Nguyen strongly recommends it for travel, especially if you’re going on a cruise since you’ll be in close quarters with other people. Children who are 16 or older should also get the meningitis B (MenB) vaccine.
What else can I do keep my child healthy while traveling internationally?
To prevent illness and be prepared if issues arise, Dr. Nguyen suggests bringing along:
- CDC-approved insect repellant
- Children’s acetaminophen, ibuprofen and Benadryl
- Hydrocortisone cream
- Packets of electrolyte-replacement powder (like Pedialyte)
- Your health insurance card
You should also check with your medical insurance provider to make sure you have international travel health insurance. There are so many details to consider when planning an international trip with your family. Ensuring that your child is protected can give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your time together.

NJ Health Department Alerts Residents of Travel-Associated Confirmed Measles Case, Urges Individuals To Stay Up to Date on Vaccines
TRENTON, NJ – The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is alerting residents about potential exposure associated with a confirmed, travel-associated case of measles. Individuals – especially parents, guardians, health care providers, and caregivers – are urged to be aware of the symptoms of this highly contagious virus and to stay up to date with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) shots.
The confirmed case is a resident of Somerset County and developed measles following travel from a country that is currently experiencing an ongoing outbreak of measles.
Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after symptoms begin. The rash usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spread downward to the neck, torso, arms, legs, and feet. Measles can also cause serious complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and can lead to miscarriage in pregnant people, premature birth, or a low-birth-weight baby.
Anyone who visited the following location at the specified date and times may have been exposed to the virus:
- Location: Emergency Department, Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center 1 Plainsboro Road, Plainsboro Township, NJ 08536
- Date & Time: June 1, 2024 between 12:00 PM (noon) and 3:30 PM
NJDOH recommends that anyone who visited the location listed above during the specified date and times should contact a health care provider immediately to discuss potential exposure and risk of developing the illness.
Potentially exposed individuals, if infected, could develop symptoms as late as June 26, 2024 . Contact tracing is underway. As of June 5, no additional associated cases have been identified.
The virus is easily spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes and can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area. People can also get sick when they come in contact with mucus or saliva from an infected person.
NJDOH is working in collaboration with local health officials and Penn Medicine to notify people who might have been exposed and to identify additional exposures that may have occurred. Those who may have been exposed or who suspect illness should call their health care provider first before arriving at any facility so that necessary infection prevention precautions can be taken to protect other patients and staff.
Individuals at risk include those who have not been fully vaccinated or have not had measles in the past.
NJDOH encourages all residents to stay up-to-date on routine vaccinations and especially recommends that New Jersey residents planning to travel , regardless of destination, are up to date on MMR shots .
MMR vaccine, administered in two doses, is safe and the most effective way to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. The vaccine is also effective at preventing complications caused by these highly contagious diseases.

Countries Fail to Agree on Treaty to Prepare the World for the Next Pandemic
Negotiators plan to ask for more time. Among the sticking points are equitable access to vaccines and financing to set up surveillance systems.
- Share full article
By Apoorva Mandavilli
Countries around the globe have failed to reach consensus on the terms of a treaty that would unify the world in a strategy against the inevitable next pandemic, trumping the nationalist ethos that emerged during Covid-19.
The deliberations, which were scheduled to be a central item at the weeklong meeting of the World Health Assembly beginning Monday in Geneva, aimed to correct the inequities in access to vaccines and treatments between wealthier nations and poorer ones that became glaringly apparent during the Covid pandemic.
Although much of the urgency around Covid has faded since the treaty negotiations began two years ago, public health experts are still acutely aware of the pandemic potential of emerging pathogens, familiar threats like bird flu and mpox, and once-vanquished diseases like smallpox.
“Those of us in public health recognize that another pandemic really could be around the corner,” said Loyce Pace, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, who oversees the negotiations in her role as the United States liaison to the World Health Organization.
Negotiators had hoped to adopt the treaty next week. But canceled meetings and fractious debates — sometimes over a single word — stalled agreement on key sections, including equitable access to vaccines.
The negotiating body plans to ask for more time to continue the discussions.
“I’m still optimistic,” said Dr. Jean Kaseya, director general of Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I think the continent wants this agreement. I think the world wants this agreement.”
Once adopted, the treaty would set legally binding policies for member countries of the W.H.O., including the United States, on surveillance of pathogens, rapid sharing of outbreak data, and local manufacturing and supply chains for vaccines and treatments, among others.
Contrary to rhetoric from some politicians in the United States and Britain , it would not enable the W.H.O. to dictate national policies on masking, or use armed troops to enforce lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
Next week’s deadline was self-imposed, and some public health experts have said it was far too ambitious — most treaties take many years — for such a complex endeavor. But negotiators were scrambling to ratify the treaty before elections in the United States and multiple European countries.
“Donald Trump is in the room,” said Lawrence Gostin, director of the W.H.O. Center on Global Health Law, who has helped to draft and negotiate the treaty.
“If Trump is elected, he will likely torpedo the negotiations and even withdraw from W.H.O.,” Mr. Gostin said.
During his tenure as president, Mr. Trump severed ties with the W.H.O. , and he has recently signaled that, if re-elected, he might shutter the White House pandemic preparedness office.
Among the biggest bones of contention in the draft treaty is a section called Pathogen Access and Benefits Sharing, under which countries would be required to swiftly share genetic sequences and samples of emerging pathogens. This information is crucial for rapid development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and treatments.
Low-income nations, including those in Africa, want to be compensated for the information with quick and equitable access to the developed tests, vaccines and treatments. They have also asked that pharmaceutical manufacturers share information that would allow local companies to manufacture the products at low cost.
“We don’t want to see Western countries coming to collect pathogens, going with pathogens, making medicines, making vaccines, without sending back to us these benefits,” Dr. Kaseya said.
Member countries have only ever agreed to one other health treaty, the 2003 Framework Convention on Tobacco Control , which strengthened control of the tobacco industry and decreased smoking rates in participating countries. But they were jolted by the devastation of the Covid pandemic and the inequities it reinforced to embark on a second.
The countries are also working on bolstering the W.H.O.’s International Health Regulations, which were last revised in 2005 and set detailed rules for countries to follow in the event of an outbreak that may breach borders.
In May 2021, an independent review of the global reaction to Covid-19 “found weak links at every point in the chain of preparedness and response.”
The pandemic also deepened mistrust between wealthier nations and poorer ones. By the end of 2021, more than 90 percent of people in some high-income countries had received two doses of Covid vaccines, compared with less than 2 percent in low-income nations. The lack of access to vaccines is thought to have caused more than a million deaths in low-income nations.
The treaty would be an acknowledgment of sorts that an outbreak anywhere threatens the entire globe, and that providing vaccines and other resources is beneficial to everyone. Variants of the coronavirus that emerged in countries with large unvaccinated populations swiftly swept across the world.
“Nearly half of U.S. deaths came from variants, so it’s in everybody’s interest to have a strong accord,” said Peter Maybarduk, who directs Public Citizen’s Access to Medicines program.
In December 2021, the W.H.O. established a group of negotiators to develop a legally binding treaty that would enable every country to prevent, detect and control epidemics, and allow for equitable allocation of vaccines and drugs.
More than two years into the negotiations, negotiators have agreed, at least in principle, on some sections of the draft.
But much of the good will generated during Covid has evaporated, and national interests have returned to the fore. Countries like Switzerland and the United States have been reluctant to accept terms that may affect the pharmaceutical industry; others like Argentina have fought against strict regulations on meat exports.
“It’s evident that people have very short memories,” said Dr. Sharon Lewin, director of the Cumming Global Center for Pandemic Therapeutics in Melbourne.
“But it can happen again, and it can happen with a pathogen that is far trickier to deal with than Covid was,” she warned.
One proposal for the Pathogen Access and Benefits Sharing section would require manufacturers to set aside 10 percent of vaccines to be donated, and another 10 percent to be provided at cost to the W.H.O. for distribution to low-income nations.
But that idea proved to be too complicated, said Roland Driece, who is one of the leaders of the negotiations. “We found along the way that that was too ambitious in the time frame.”
Instead, a working group established by the World Health Assembly will be tasked with hammering out the details of that section by May 2026, Mr. Driece said.
The terms of the proposed agreement have generated some confusion. In Britain, Nigel Farage, the conservative broadcaster and populist politician, and some other conservative politicians have claimed that the W.H.O. would force richer countries to give away 20 percent of their vaccines.
But that is an incorrect reading of the proposed agreement, Mr. Driece said. “It’s not the countries that have to come up with those vaccines, it’s the companies,” he said. Pharmaceutical companies would commit to the system in exchange for guaranteed access to data and samples needed to make their products.
Britain will not sign the treaty unless “it is firmly in the U.K. national interest and respects national sovereignty,” a spokesperson for the country’s health department told Reuters earlier this month.
In the United States, Republican senators have demanded that the Biden administration reject the treaty because it would “potentially weaken U.S. sovereignty.”
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, W.H.O.’s director general, has roundly criticized what he called the “the litany of lies and conspiracy theories,” noting that the organization does not have the authority to dictate national public health policies, nor does it seek such power.
The secrecy surrounding the negotiations has made it difficult to counter misinformation, said James Love, director of Knowledge Ecology International, one of the few nonprofits with a window into the negotiations.
Having more people allowed into the discussion rooms or to see the drafts as they evolve would help clarify complicated aspects of the treaty, Mr. Love said.
“Also, the public could relax a bit if they’re actually reading the actual agreement on a regular basis,” he said.
Some proposals in the draft treaty would require massive investments, another sticking point in the negotiations.
To monitor emerging pathogens, wealthier nations endorse a so-called One Health strategy, which recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants and their shared environment. They want low-income countries to regulate live animal markets and limit trade in animal products — a big economic blow for some nations.
Last month, the Biden administration released its own strategy for global health security , with a focus on bilateral partnerships aimed at helping 50 countries bolster their pandemic response systems. The administration hopes to expand the list to 100 countries by the end of the year.
American support would help the countries, most of which are in Asia and Africa, strengthen their One Health systems and better manage outbreaks.
The U.S. strategy is meant to be complementary to the global treaty, and cannot serve as an alternative, public health experts said.
“In my view, this is the most important moment in global health since W.H.O. was founded in 1948,” Mr. Gostin said. “It would just be an unforgivable tragedy if we let this slip away after all the suffering of Covid.”

Broome Co. Health Dept. reminds public to stay up-to-date on vaccinations during summer travel season
BINGHAMTON (WBNG) -- The Broome County Health Department announced Thursday that it wants to remind people to stay up to date on immunizations during the summer months.
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, or CDC, traveling internationally increases your risk for getting and spreading diseases that are rare or not found in the United States.” The CDC noted that cases of measles are increasing.
The CDC recommends that anyone who is planning on traveling outside the country talk to their healthcare provider about what vaccines they may need.
You can check travel advisories for diseases on the CDC’s website, at this link .
The Broome County Health Department said it can protect people from more than 20 diseases, including measles. It also said that it reminds people that vaccines are the most effective measure to prevent disease and death.

Whooping cough cases on the rise: What to know about symptoms, vaccines, more
Cases of whooping cough are popping up throughout the country and current case counts are nearly three times higher than at this time last year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There have been 4,864 cases of pertussis, or whooping cough, reported throughout the United States in 2024 so far, which is up from the 1,746 cases reported through the same week in 2023, according to the CDC.
The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department in Kentucky recently declared the respiratory illness in outbreak status after nine total cases have been confirmed in the area since late April.
Health officials in Oregon are also concerned about a sharp increase in cases of whooping cough and are encouraging vaccination against the disease. The Oregon Health Authority said in a notice last Thursday that as of May 29, there have been 178 cases of whooping cough reported to them in 2024 from nine counties.
That represents a 770% increase from the 20 cases reported by that date in 2023, according to the OHA, but the numbers fall in line with those seen during similar time frames in 2018 and 2019.
“Our concern is with how quickly we jumped to such a high number of pertussis cases, which tell us that the disease is doing what it does best: spreading fast and taking a greater toll on undervaccinated persons,” Paul Cieslak, OHA’s medical director for communicable diseases and immunizations, said in the notice.
Here's what you need to know about the illness, including the symptoms and vaccine information.
What is whooping cough?
According to the CDC, whooping cough is a respiratory illness caused by a type of bacteria called Bordetella pertussis.
The disease, only found in humans, occurs when whooping cough bacteria attach to the cilia that line part of the upper respiratory system. This bacteria then releases toxins, which damage the cilia and cause airways to swell, according to the CDC.
What are the symptoms of whooping cough?
The CDC says that it usually takes 5 to 10 days for symptoms to appear after exposure to the bacteria, and sometimes symptoms don't develop for as long as three weeks.
Early symptoms of whooping cough appear similar to a common cold, according to the CDC, and can last for one to two weeks. These symptoms include:
- Runny or stuffed up nose
- Low-grade fever (less than 100.4℉)
- Mild, occasional cough
One to two weeks after the first symptoms start, people may develop paroxysms, or coughing fits, that usually last one to six weeks but can last up to 10 weeks. These coughing fits generally get worse and become more common as the illness continues, according to the CDC.
According to the agency, many babies with whooping cough don't cough at all, but instead develop apnea, or life-threatening pauses in breathing.
The CDC recommends seeing a healthcare provider if you or your child are coughing violently, and to seek immediate care for breathing difficulties.
Is there a whooping cough vaccine?
According to the CDC, two kinds of vaccines are available that help prevent whooping cough , both of which also provide protection against other diseases:
- Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) vaccines
- Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccines
The CDC says babies and children younger than 7 years old receive DTaP, while older children and adults receive Tdap. The agency recommends whooping cough vaccination for all babies and children, preteens and pregnant women.
Adults who have never received one should also get a Tdap shot, according to the CDC.
How does whooping cough spread?
The CDC says that the bacteria that cause whooping cough spread easily from person to person through the air.
When a person with whooping cough sneezes or coughs, they release small particles with the bacteria in them, which other people can breathe in.
People can spread the bacteria from the start of symptoms and for at least two weeks after coughing begins, according to the CDC. Taking antibiotics early in the illness may shorten the amount of time someone is contagious, the agency says.
How is whooping cough diagnosed and treated?
The CDC says that whooping cough can be difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms are similar to other respiratory illnesses.
Healthcare providers can diagnose whooping cough by doing the following:
- History of typical signs and symptoms
- Physical exam
- Laboratory test of a mucus sample from the back of the throat
Healthcare providers generally treat the illness with antibiotics, and further treatment in the hospital may be needed if symptoms are serious, according to the CDC.

Cicada map 2024: Broods XIII and XIX emerge in Ohio vacationer hotspots
It's not necessarily a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it doesn't happen often. It's typically more than a decade between times when periodical cicadas emerge in full force in many portions of the country.
They're out now in nearly 20 U.S. states across the Southeast and Midwest.
These 17 states, which range from Oklahoma to Wisconsin to North Carolina and more, are seeing the trillions of cicadas emerging this year in a rare, double brood event.
The two broods this year, the 13-year Brood XIX located mainly in the Southeast and the 17-year Brood XIII in the Midwest, have not emerged together in 221 years and are not expected to do so again until 2245.
Thanks to warm soil temperatures and ideal conditions, cicadas from both broods have already made their way above ground and the emergence is already in full swing.
Here's where you can find cicadas above ground this year.
What do cicadas eat? Lifecycle, diet and biting habits explained
2024 cicada map: Check out where Broods XIII, XIX are projected to emerge
The two cicada broods were projected to emerge in a combined 17 states across the South and Midwest. They emerge once the soil eight inches underground reaches 64 degrees, beginning in many states in April and May and lasting through late June.
The two broods last emerged together in 1803 , when Thomas Jefferson was president.
Traveling from Ohio or Northern Kentucky this summer? You may see cicadas
Are you an Ohio or Kentucky resident traveling to places like middle Tennessee or western North Carolina? Well then, be on the lookout for cicadas.
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, both less than 300 miles from Cincinnati and under 400 miles from Columbus, are Ohio vacationer hotspots where cicadas are above ground this spring.
If you're eyeing a Lake Michigan getaway, you're likely to share the beach with some 17-year cicadas.
New Buffalo in Southwest Michigan, which is less than 300 miles from Columbus and Cincinnati and slightly more than 300 miles from Akron, has cicadas.
Likewise for Indiana Dunes in Northern Indiana — also less than 300 miles from Columbus and Cincinnati and a little over 300 miles from Akron. Northern Illinois, including the Chicago area, are also expected to experience 17-year cicadas this year.
Where are the cicadas in 2024? App developed in Cincinnati tracks sightings
Adult periodical cicadas from Brood XIX are out in full force in states across the Midwest and Southeast, according to Cicada Safari , a cicada tracking app developed by Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
App users have spotted them in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, southern Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Brood XIII has emerged in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Indiana. The Chicago area and around central and northern Illinois and downstate areas around the cities of Peoria and Champaign are experiencing cicada mania, according to the tracking service.
Does Ohio have cicadas?
Ohio is not in the path of the two broods appearing across much of the Southeast and Midwest, according to the University of Connecticut. However, you might still spot either brood this spring as "some stragglers may pop up in the southwest of the state," according to Ohio State University's Buckeye Environmental Horticulture Team .
Parts of southern and southwest Ohio will see the emergence of Brood XIV cicadas in 2025, per OSU's Buckeye Environmental Horticulture Team.
Confusingly, Brood XIII emerges every 17 years while Brook XIX resurfaces every 13 years, according to the University of Illinois .
Will cicadas emerging this year fly to Ohio?
Ohio is not expected to see an onslaught of periodical cicadas from either Brood XIX or XIII, but some neighboring states will.
So will the cicadas be able to fly to Ohio? That's unlikely for two reasons.
First, cicadas are clumsy flyers, and their wings are not suitable for long distance travel, according to Science News Explores .
Plus, periodical cicadas emerge only to molt, breed, lay eggs and die, all within a few weeks. They don't spend time looking for new territory. Cicadas typically fly less than half a mile from the spot where they emerge, according to the University of Illinois. So, 17-year cicadas from Abraham Lincoln's day have spread roughly five miles total.
What is a brood?
According to the University of Connecticut , broods are classified as "all periodical cicadas of the same life cycle type that emerge in a given year."
A brood of cicadas is made up of different species of the insect that have separate evolutionary histories. These species may have joined the brood at different times or from different sources. These distinct species are lumped together under the brood because they are in the same region and emerge on a common schedule.
How long will the cicadas be above ground?
How long cicadas live depends on their brood and if they are an annual or periodical species.
The two periodical broods this summer are Brood XIX, which has a 13-year life cycle, and Brood XIII, which has a 17-year life cycle.
Once male and female periodical cicadas have mated and the latter has laid its eggs, the insects will die after spending only a few weeks above ground − anywhere from three to six weeks after first emerging.
That means many of this year's periodical cicadas are set to die in June, though some could die off in late May or July, depending on when they emerged.
The nymphs of annual cicadas remain underground for two to five years , according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. These cicadas are called " annual " because some members of the species emerge as adults each year.
Why do cicadas make so much noise?
You'll have to thank the male cicadas for all that screeching. Male cicadas synchronize their calls and produce congregational songs, according to Britannica , which establish territory and attract females. There is also a courting call before mating.
The periodical 13-year and 17-year brood cicadas are the loudest, partially because of the sheer number of them that emerge at once.
