Before using Yellow Fever Vaccine, it is important that you complete a risk assessment with a trained healthcare professional, to determine whether you should receive the vaccine.</p>

<ul>
	<li>If you are over 60 years old or if your child is less than 9 months as you have an increased risk of certain types of severe but rare reactions to the vaccine (including serious reactions that affect the brain and nerves, and vital organs). You will only be given the vaccine if the risk of infection with the virus is well established in countries where you are going to stay.</li>
	<li>If your child is aged 6 to 9 months. Yellow Fever Vaccine may be given to children aged between 6 and 9 months only in special situations and on the basis of current official advice.</li>
	<li>If you or your child are infected by the HIV virus but do not have active symptoms due to the infection. Your healthcare professional will advise if Yellow Fever Vaccine can be given based on the results of laboratory tests and specialist advice.</li>
	<li>If you or your child have any bleeding disorder (such as haemophilia or low level of platelets) or are taking any medicines that stop the blood clotting normally. You can still be given Yellow Fever Vaccine provided that it is injected under the skin and not into muscle.</li>
	<li>If you had any allergic reaction to latex. The tip cap of the pre-filled syringe contains a natural rubber latex derivative which may cause an allergic reaction.</li>
