Yellow fever vaccine for 7 day stay in Addis Ababa

score:2

Accepted answer

Ethiopia does not presently require yellow fever vaccination for entry from regions where yellow fever is not endemic, so it is legally permissible for you not to get vaccinated before travel, or to get vaccinated less than ten days before travel.

The US CDC, however, does include Addis Ababa in its list of places where yellow fever vaccination is recommended, as does the WHO.

While the risk of yellow fever is probably relatively low on your planned urban itinerary, the risk of bad effects from the vaccine is even lower for most people. Immunity is not an exact process, and there is nothing magical about the ten-day threshold, except as provided for by some legal systems. I would recommend getting vaccinated as soon as possible so you can have the most protection by the time of your planned trip; plus, you'll then be all set for any future travel you may want to do at some future last minute. Qualified medical personal are also the most able to evaluate you for any other vaccines that may be recommended for your travel as well as any medical conditions you may have that would suggest you should not receive this vaccination.
