Map of Africa where countries are highlighted to show Yellow Fever vaccination recommendations (recommended, generally not recommended and not recommended).
See Appendix 1b: “Countries with risk of yellow fever transmission by continent, 2011(27)" to find the list of countries with Yellow Fever vaccination recommendations.
Note on map for vaccination generally not recommended:
Yellow fever vaccination is generally not recommended in areas where there is low potential for exposure to yellow fever virus. However, vaccination might be considered for a small subset of travellers to these areas, who are at increased risk of exposure to yellow fever virus (e.g. prolonged travel, extensive exposure to mosquitoes, inability to avoid mosquito bites). When considering vaccination, any traveller must take into account the risk of being infected with yellow fever virus, country entry requirements, as well as individual risk factors (e.g. age, immune status) for serious vaccine-associated adverse events.
