Safety of the Yellow Fever Vaccine: A Retrospective Study

ConclusionsIn these closed cohorts we did not detect increased risk for visceral or neurologic events following YF vaccination. The death rate following YF vaccine was consistent with previous reports. These data support current recommendations for use of YF vaccine in young healthy individuals. These data are inadequate to judge safety of YF vaccines in elderly patients.
