Eligibility guidelines related to travel outside the country change periodically, and may require individual evaluation for possible exposure to various infectious diseases, such as Malaria.
Currently, a three (3) month deferral is required to areas of the world deemed at risk for acquiring malaria by the CDC, and there is a three (3) year deferral following recovery from malaria.
