Question
I went to Peru for one month last summer (without the yellow fever immunization). I am going to Ethiopia next Thursday, May 31st. My team leader just informed me that because I've been to an endemic region, I may have to get the yellow fever immunization. All the websites I've seen have simply said "If traveling from an endemic region," without giving a period of time. Do I need it or not?
To be honest I am not sure. I know for Tanzania you need certificate, but they have never ask me and I have been there probably about 5 times. I travelled twice through Ethiopia from Kenya and Sudan. Didn't fly in and they didn't ask me. If it do no harm, I suggest get it. Sorry, I can't give you a clear answer on this one
