YELLOW FEVER VACCINE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN INDIA


YELLOW FEVER VACCINE REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN INDIA



Categories of recommendations for yellow fever vaccination
Recommended: Vaccination recommended for all travelers ≥9 months of age to areas with endemic or transitional yellow fever risk, as determined by persistent or periodic YFV transmission.
Generally not recommended: Vaccination generally not recommended in areas where the potential for yellow fever virus (YFV) exposure is low, as determined by absence of reports of human yellow fever and past evidence suggestive of only low levels of YFV transmission. However, vaccination might be considered for a small subset of travelers who are at increased risk for exposure to YFV because of prolonged travel, heavy exposure to mosquitoes, or inability to avoid mosquito bites.
Not recommended: Vaccination not recommended in areas where there is no risk of YFV transmission, as determined by absence of past or present evidence of YFV circulation in the area or environmental conditions not conducive to YFV transmission.
