Zika Warning to Pregnant Women

There is concern that Zika infection during pregnancy is harming unborn babies. Because there is neither a vaccine nor prophylactic medications available to prevent Zika virus infection, the CDC in America recommends that all pregnant women consider postponing travel to areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. If a pregnant woman travels to an area with Zika virus transmission, she should strictly avoid mosquito bites.
Updates on areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission are available online (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/).
