Yellow Fever Vaccine: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP)
|
|
|
|
|
| This report updates CDC’s recommendations for using yellow fever vaccine. Administration of vaccine is recommended for persons aged >9 months who are traveling to or living in areas of South America and Africa in which a risk exists for yellow fever virus (YFV) transmission. Because serious adverse events can occur following vaccine administration, health-care
providers should vaccinate only persons who are at risk for exposure to YFV or who require proof of vaccination for country entry. To minimize the risk for serious adverse events, health-care providers should observe the contraindications, consider the precautions to vaccination before administering vaccine, and issue a medical waiver if indicated.
