Various listings re: Travel/Preparation/Health 
Various listings re: Immunizations/Travelers

A Washington Post article on traveling abroad offered the following two listings and many more at their site.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travelers' Health 
With advisories on disease outbreaks and recommended inoculations, the CDC is an important site to consult before venturing to some Third World countries. Special sections cover safe food and water, traveling with children, and advice for elderly and disabled travelers. 

U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office 
The British Foreign Office provides advice on some 200 countries, with a column featuring recent travel updates (each notice is dated). Travel advisories seem more measured than those of the U.S. State Department. Beyond travel warnings, country pages include useful advice on local customs, health concerns and laws. In Jordan, for example, if a driver hits a pedestrian, the driver is always guilty and may be subject to imprisonment. Good to know.
