Who should get vaccinated against yellow fever?
Anyone traveling to an area where the disease is endemic currently occurring, should obtain vaccination. If there is doubt about this, vaccination is still often a sensible precaution. Some countries have Yellow fever requirements that target travellers coming from infected areas, rather than infected countries, and local health and customs officials may have inaccurate or outdated information regarding areas of yellow fever infection and, therefore may require proof of vaccination. This can lead to local health authorities attempting to administer the vaccine using needles or syringes of unknown cleanliness. Having a valid certificate is a wiser choice.
