Yellow Fever

Question: Where is the yellow fever vaccination injected? Hey all. I just wanted to know where the yellow fever vaccination is injected. I don't have a problem with needles or anything I've just watched the bit of Pearl Harbour where all the soldiers get their yellow fever injected and the had to bend over and get it injected around the bum area! Just curious to know from people who have been vaccinated in the past because I've got to have mine when I go to Kenya next year. Thanks a lot.

Answer: Hi, yes I think I have had Stamaril (yellow fever vaccine) in the past. It's given subcutaneously ( layer of fat between the skin and the muscle) into either the outer surface of the upper arm buttocks, top of thighs or abdomen. You can request where. You need to have it at last 10 days before you go to Kenya. Have fun, I love Africa.

Question: What are the actual chances of getting yellow fever in Dakar Senegal in December? I am pregnant and do not want to risk getting the vaccine for yellow fever now. But my husband and I have a trip planned to Dakar to see his family that he has not seen in 6 years. I am not sure what to do because I have not had the yellow fever vaccination, but if we don't go now I don't want my husband to have to wait any longer to go. Any advice would be appreciated!

Answer: You need to discuss this with travel doctor and NOT yahoo. My info says vaccine is needed but I am not pregnant and you are. If you don't get the vaccine, you should bring a needle kit because they may insist you get the vaccine at the border and at the very least you don't want to use their needles.

Question: What caused the yellow fever outbreak in 1793? Refugees or slaves? I've searched around the internet a lot and have found two different stories about the source of the yellow fever outbreak in Philadelphia in 1793: it was brought there by refugees escaping political turmoil in the Caribbean, or it was brought over from Africa by the slave trade. Which is the most likely cause? This is for a history paper, so a source would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: You just read "Fever 1793", didn't ya? It was brought to the Port of Philadelphia by ships coming up from the Caribbean and transmitted to the populace by mosquitoes. It may have originated in Africa and accompanied the unfortunates who were forced to endure the dreadful Middle Passage as slaves. Any of the officers and crews of the various ships up from the islands, not just slaves, could carry the disease as they headed north. You'll find a list of sources mentioned in the back of Ms. Anderson's book "Fever 1793". I will be visiting our local middle school later this month as a historian to show the youngsters some of the means physicians Like Benjamin Rush used to attempt to control and cure the disease. It is required reading for our seventh graders this year...Can you identify with Maddie?

I have had the Yellow Fever vaccine within the last 2 years Does anyone know the official rules regarding these 2 facts? It would be great to know. Thanks!

Answer: You should be fine as far as the yellow fever vaccine is concered, but I would ask about the fact that you traveled to Africa. Did you get any malaria shots before traveling there? If so, you can't donate within a year of getting the shot. I would call up a local blood bank and ask.

Question: What's the latest number of days I can leave it before I have to take a yellow fever jab? I'm planning on flying out to Tanzania but haven't fixed a date.I have been told to get a yellow fever jab. What's the latest number of days I can leave it before I have to take the jab. Will I be allowed in to the country without the jab?

Answer: Generally 2 weeks before going. Last September We went to Tanzania by coach from Kenya, we were not asked to produce the Yellow fever inoculation certificate at the border and have since been told that if you arrive from a non yellow fever area you do not need this. I do know that if you travel from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania you will have to produce the certificate. If I was you I would have it done to be on the safe side to save any hassles. Also you can check with the Tanzanian Embassy to make sure.

Answer: "Aedes mosquitoes, including A. aegypti, A. africanus, A. simpsoni, A. furcifer, A. luteocephalus, and A. albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito). Urban yellow fever is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. A. aegypti becomes infectious 2 weeks after feeding on a viremic host. Jungle, or sylvatic, yellow fever is transmitted by Haemagogus and other mosquitoes (such as Masoni africana) of the forest canopy (tree-hole breeding mosquitoes). These mosquitoes acquire the virus from viremic primates. The yellow-fever virus can also be passed from one mosquito generation to another via the mosquito eggs. "
