Travel: Zika and pregnancy risks

Hello, I refer you to this page where you can see the map of regions at risk: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/zika-travel-information . There have been reported cases of Zika in Florida, while Hawaii has not yet had a case reported. If you plan to visit an area that is purple on the map, such as Florida, it is recommended that you discuss the risks with your doctor. If you still decide to go, it is recommended to prevent mosquito bites and prevent sexual exposure to Zika. When traveling with your partner (male), it is recommended to wait 2 months after your return before conceiving. I also refer you to this page for more information on the Zika virus: https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-publique/services/maladies/virus-zika.html . And if you want information on the necessary vaccines and possible risks for a trip to Florida or Hawaii, you can look at this page: https://www.inspq.qc.ca/sante-voyage/guide/pays/etats-unis Does this answer your questions?
