Also, the Department of Health and Human Services-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at CDC regularly publishes a Yellow Book online every two years as a reference for those who advise international travelers about health risks. The Yellow Book is written primarily for health professionals, although you may find the section "Travelers with Specific Needs" useful.
