Q: If I just received the yellow fever vaccine, should I avoid contact with my immunocompromised family member?
A: It is not necessary to isolate yourself from people with weak immune systems as there is no evidence that people who receive yellow fever vaccine shed the vaccine virus.
Q: How long does yellow fever vaccination last?
A: A single dose of yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting protection. Some people may benefit from a booster dose of the vaccine either because they have problems with their immune system or they are in endemic areas.
