Yellow Fever Vaccine
Last updated on August 2nd, 2021 at 05:40 am
Yellow Fever Vaccine provides protection against Yellow Fever. This is a viral infection that spreads primarily through bites of female mosquitoes ( Aedes aegypti ) infected with the Yellow Fever virus (Flavivirus). The vaccine works by exposing your body to a small amount of the weakened form of the virus for which the body develops immunity.
Yellow Fever vaccine recommendations
Yellow fever vaccines are strongly recommended to the people of the age group 9 months to 59 years of age if they are :
- Living in areas at high risk of Yellow Fever Virus (South America & Africa).
- Traveling to places with higher chances of Yellow Fever Infection.
- Going to countries with Yellow Fever Vaccine requirements.
One shot of the Yellow Fever Vaccine is enough for long-lasting protection against the Yellow Fever Virus. However, a booster dose is recommended every 10 years, for people at high risk.
Who should not get the Yellow Fever vaccine?
Yellow Fever Vaccine is not recommended to:
- Infants below 6 months of age.
- People who are allergic to vaccines or vaccine components.
Note: Infants between 6 to 8 months of age should only be vaccinated in case of a yellow fever epidemic or if traveling to yellow fever–endemic zone, where there is a lesser possibility of protection against mosquito bites. A consultation with your doctor or healthcare provider is a must before vaccination.
Other groups that require proper doctor consultation before receiving yellow fever vaccine, due to higher risks of adverse reactions include:
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women
- Adults over 60 years of age
- People with a weakened immune system due to long term steroid therapy, HIV, organ transplant, and cancer patients.
If possible, traveling to a yellow fever zone should be avoided for these groups of people.
What are symptoms of Yellow Fever?
The symptoms of yellow fever between 3-6 days after being infected from the disease are:
- Fever
- Chills
- Back pain
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Weakness
Some serious symptoms include
- Jaundice
- Bleeding from mouth, nose or eyes
- Abdominal pain with bloody vomit

How do you manage Yellow Fever symptoms?
There is no specific medical treatment for Yellow fever as there is no cure for viral infections. But some symptomatic management includes:
- Rest, drink fluids and use pain relievers.
- Avoid medicines such as aspirin and other no steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs as they risk create a risk of internal bleeding.
- Serious cases need hospitalization care and close observation.
How do you prevent Yellow Fever?
- Get Yellow Fever Vaccination while traveling to high-risk areas. Here is the list of countries where Yellow Fever vaccination is required/recommended before traveling.
- Use correct mosquito repellent in the body part where the skin is exposed.
