John,
Cover it or not, I certainly hope that meeting organizers
take these things into account. Visiting some countries can
make it impossible to visit others, at least for a certain time.
For example, many Asian countries will not grant a visa to any
body who has been in Africa recently. Or at least this used to
be the case...
Also, it is irresponsible for anyone to organize a meeting
in a country where innoculation is required for entry without
making an announcement - or including that information in other
announcements - to that effect. I can well imagine that such an
announcement can be expected to prevent some people from going
to such a meeting.
