Yellow Fever vaccine

Yellow Fever vaccine

I plan to travel extensively in a region of Africa where yellow fever is endemic. I've been told that I should not receive the yellow fever vaccine because I have RA.   I do not want to be preoccupied by fear of infection.   How risky is it for someone with RA to receive the vaccine?  I am 30 and in good health.  I take Humira and Methotrexate.  Thanks

I knew someone who got so sick from the vacine that he missed his entire trip.  I suggest that you find a good homeopath and get a homeopathic prophylactic..

I was involved for a short period studying yellow fever. It is the bad news bears.  My sincere advice is to not to take this trip if you cannot take the vaccine.
