5 Who is a VFR? Definition by the ISTM - Migration Health Sub-committee...a VFR traveler is a traveler whose primary purpose is travel to visit friends and relatives, where there is a gradient of epidemiological risk between home and destination Barnett E et al. J Travel Med 2010;17(3): A traveler categorized as a VFR is an immigrant (with) residence in a higher-income country who returns to his or her home country (a lower income country) to visit friends and relatives. Included in the VFR category are family members, such as spouses and children who were born in the country of residence. Keystone J. Chapter 8, Yellow Book Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 5

7 Pre-Travel Health Disparities among VFRs Lack of awareness of risk or belief that they are immune Low rate of insurance coverage Financial barriers Lack of trust in the medical system Cultural and language barriers Low rate of pre-travel health care Disproportionate risk for travelrelated infectious diseases Angell SY, Cetron MS. Ann Intern Med 2005;142:67-72 Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 7
8 Low Rate of Pre-travel Health Care in Pediatric VFRs GeoSentinel network (2010) 1,591 children with travel-related diagnoses 275 Pediatric VFRs Pre-travel care: 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% (P<.001) Hagmann et al. Pediatrics 2010;125(5):e % VFR Non-VFR Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 8

15 Take Home Points so far! 1. Pediatric VFRs represent a significant proportion of pediatric international travelers. 2. Pediatric VFRs compared to other pediatric travelers are: Less likely to seek pre-travel health care. ( 30%) Younger. (Infants/toddlers/preschoolers) Present often late to pre-travel care. (<14 days) Travel for longer periods. (>1 month) Travel more frequently to high-risk destinations. (Africa, Asia, Americas) Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 15

What is the PMHx / newborn history? 6. Which vaccines has the infant received so far 7. Has the mother been immunized during pregnancy or postpartum? Which vaccines? 8. Is the mother breastfeeding this infant? Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 26
27 What would you recommend? Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 27
28 Malaria Chemoprophylaxis in Children at U.S. GTEN Clinics Proportion of drugs used by age groups Mefloquine use associated with: VFRs, aor:2.37 Prolonged travel, aor:2.38 Younger age (0-5y), aor: 4.29 (6-11), aor: 3.53 Hagmann et al. J Ped Infect Dis 2013;2(4): Likely Reasons for Preferred Use of mefloquine Good tolerability in children Ease of use (once a week) Relative Affordability Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 28
29 Personal Protection Measures 3-prong Approach Nets Repellent Permethrin Strategy Based on Developmental Stage of Child Carry-on stage (~0-8 months) Primary Prevention strategy: =>Protective environment Permethrin-impregnated nets for crip/bed/stroller/car seat Stauffer WM et al.

30 Vaccinations Accelerated schedule for basic series: Starts at 6 weeks and can be completed by 14 weeks (Rotavirus, Pneumococcus, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, HiB, Polio) Hepatitis B: Ideally started at birth, continue series Hepatitis A: Immunoglubulin Meningococcal: Men ACWY-CRM (Menveo) (2, 4, 6, 12 months) BCG: to be considered and discussed Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 30
31 Diarrhea Care 1. What is diarrhea and how to recognize it 2. Care Advicewww.healthychildren.org/English/tips-tools/Symptom- Checker/Pages/Vomiting-With-Diarrhea.aspx. Reassurance Preparation and use of ORS Avoidance of medicines Expected course When to seek professional help 3. Nutrition counseling Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 31
32 Mother (or other caregiver)/ Overlap with migrant health care Care giver (e.g. mother) interested to receive pretravel care? Offer actively. Review existing serologic results Pre-natal or others if available, e.g. hepb, MMR etc. Consider to order if none available Review PPD status Review immunization history Link to specialist care if needed, e.g. hepatologist (Mother): Breastfeeding? = Precaution for yellow fever vaccine! Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 32
33 Last but not least What is the budget? Need to address actively with families! Provide written information in patient s primary language if possible. Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 33
34 Key-points 1. Look for how you can engage pediatric VFRs in your service area! 2. Have time to discuss in details with the care givers the real-world circumstances of planned trip: where?, when?, how long?, with whom? 3. Offer pre-travel care to adult caregivers! 4. Know a good and reliable compounding pharmacist! 5. Be familiar with and utilize accelerated immunizations schedules! 6. Provide instructions and hand-outs in the caregiver s best language! Pre-CISTM14 Course --- Stefan Hagmann 34
