What Is Yellow Fever?
8. Prevention
Yellow fever is relatively easy to prevent thanks to the presence of an effective vaccine. People should always make sure that they are vaccinated before travelling to parts of the world where they are likely to be exposed to the virus. If you are unsure, then you should speak with your doctor to be on the safe side.
In addition to vaccines, protecting yourself against mosquitos is another way to help keep you safe. One way to achieve this is to wear long, loose clothing, and to try and stay in during dusk and dawn when mosquitos are at their most active.
