Yellow fever
I am going on the classic safari in September and my doctor has given me a waiver for the yellow fever vaccination. Do you think this will pose a problem?

My wife and I are going on this trip shortly, and have been inoculated for yellow fever, among other things. But we don't have any documentation from our doctor re this. What sort of proof of inoculation do the authorities in Africa require?

Yup. His name started with Dr.
There would have been some great pictures!
It also occured to me: If you were going to West Africa, and there was an ebola vaccine, would you get it?
Well, this trip goes to Kenya which is a yellow fever area. Personally, even if they would allow me to travel there without it, would I go without it ... ? Our health professional actually tried to talk us out of getting it not because of allergies, but just because 'older' people sometimes have a bad reaction to it. We got the shots in a hospital and just hung around for a while. No reaction. I actually think I had that vaccine before I went to Vietnam, which is not even a yellow fever area, but I had no record of it.
There is a newer version than this one.
My very old version (Rev. 9-69) has pages for the following Vaccination/re-vaccinations. Each landscape page has two panels):
1 page for Smallpox
1 page for Yellow Fever
2 pages for Cholera
1 page for Other Immunizations (Typhus, Typhoid, Plague, Polio, Tetanus, Flu, hep a & b, etc.
When I go to the travel clinic, I'll find out if they will update it or make me a new one.
Very important!!!!!!
