According to one reviewer this short brochure is filled with, "good information that is clearly presented in a lower reading level." Another reviewer has noticed people are often fearful of traveling due to the possible infections that could be acquired; this booklet "reduces that fear and identifies reasonable precautions which are helpful." Reviewers agreed that the simplicity and short length of the brochure is effective not only for audiences with varying reading levels, but also as a quick reminder that is easy to carry with you while traveling.
