Question

Are SA citizens vaccinated against yellow fever? give two reason for your answer.

Answer 1

South African people are vaccinated with Yellow fever. First, SA is strict in the implementation proof of vaccination in travelers coming in the country. The vaccination card must show vaccination at least ten days prior to travel. This is to prevent reintroduction of the disease to SA people. Second, In the list of Center for Disease Control, South Africa is not included in the countries with an endemic Yellow fever which means that the disease is wiped out if not controlled through vaccination.
