Since no available vaccines exists and effective preventative measures cannot be applied, what can be done in the meantime? Well, scientists are urging women who live in Latin American countries to avoid pregnancy for the next 2 years.

Although these methods won’t be as effective as a vaccine, they will aid in some degree.
