Outbreak Resources


ISTM celebrates our Global Healthcare family's dedication, bravery, empathy and compassion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Special thanks to Yo-Yo Ma for a beautiful piece of music. We are grateful to filmmaker Chris Newberry, poetry by Dr. Beth Lown, poetry reading by Katie McMahon, and all the collaborators who made this project possible.

The ISTM Leadership believes that we can all continue to learn from and support one-another during this critical outbreak, and pledges to continue to provdie information and resources to the travel medicine community.

The ISTM and Travel Medicine Community offer these collected resources to help our members stay current and connected to information on the rapidly changing global Coronavirus Pandemic.

Please note that some resources may not reflect the most up to date information but they remain on this page to provide important background, knowledge and information. We encourage all of our memebrs who are providing COVID-19 related care and services to seek the most recent information in their jurisdiction of practice. We welcome any suggestions for additional resources. Please email the Secretariat here.

COVID-19 Task Force Position Statement: Support for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Programs

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has inspired scientists, biopharma, and governments to accelerate vaccine development, manufacturing, review and approval. COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination programs will be immensely powerful in changing the course of the pandemic. We encourage ISTM members to reach out to and support our networks of decision-makers and planners on vaccination programs. Many thanks to the COVID-19 Task Force leaders Rebecca Acosta, Gerard Flaherty, and Jenny Visser for drafting the ISTM Position Statement below.

International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM)/COVID-19 Task Force Position Statement on ISTM Member Participation in COVID-19 Vaccination Programs

The International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) is proud of the active role its members around the world are providing in public health, patient care, research and education during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we approach the critical phase of global vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, ISTM members can offer valuable support to regional and national vaccination campaigns for both the general population and travelers.

COVID-19 Information

ISTM Leadership realizes that many in the travel medicine community are already infected with the COVID-19 virus and others are quarantined. We want to assure you of our concern and empathy and ask that you keep us informed, if you are able to do so, about the way that this huge epidemic is impacting you, your clinical practice and your colleagues. We understand that for many in our community, in addition to advising travelers they are also diagnosing and managing COVID-19 cases at their respective institutions and some are fighting explosive outbreaks. We want to express our support for our dedicated colleagues; we are all in this together.
