Does yellow fever still exist?
I was watching a documentary about global health, and yellow fever was mentioned. I always thought it was a disease of the past, so I'm curious to know if yellow fever still exists in any part of the world today.

Haan, it definitely exists, par mostly Africa aur South America ke parts me hi hai na. India me entry ke liye isliye yellow fever certificate compulsory hota hai agar aap wahan se aa rahe ho.

Yes, it is still around. I had to get my son vaccinated for our family trip to Brazil. Make sure to get the vaccine at least 10 days before travel so the immunity develops properly.

Yes, it does exist. I read about it while preparing travel plans last year. Since my health is already sensitive due to PCOS, I always research travel vaccinations carefully to avoid any risks.

I totally get why you'd wonder about this, since we don't hear about it daily in India. But yes, it still exists in certain countries, so please take precautions if you are planning to travel there.

Yes, it is still very active in tropical regions. Since I have diabetes and need to be very careful with my immunity, I made sure to get the vaccine well in advance before traveling abroad.

Yes, it does. It is endemic in over 40 countries, mostly in South America and Africa. That is why international travel regulations are so strict about the vaccination certificate.

It definitely exists in parts of Africa! I was planning a food trip to Kenya last year and had to get vaccinated first. Can't risk getting sick when there's so much local cuisine to try!
