shot ot capsules for yellow fevor?
We will be going to Tanzania/Kenya in July and know we need Yellow Fevor prevention.
I have always thougfht it was an innoculation. A pharmacist I spoke to today stated one takes 4-5 capsules with a prescription for YF.
Are they both OK or which is preferred method?

NFZ - Of course, depends on who the pharmacist is. Mine would never have said that.
Still, best to get the info from your physician (who is familiar with foreign travel requirements) or a tropical diseases specialist as you need a script to get any of these.

Thank you all! You are, of course, correct! I kept telling her Yellow Fevor and she was quite sure about saying I needed capsules of VIVOTIF which are for Typhoid. She never mentioned the word Typhoid! What a fool!
Thanks again !
Thanks again !
