Where all do you need yellow fever vaccination?

Many places: There is some suggestion that yellow fever vaccine may afford partial protection against chikungunya, another bad virus. Info on areas of the world in which vaccination is necessary can be gotten either from the cdc web site, or from your local travel clinic.

Check CDC website : If you have concerns about the vaccinations required before travel to anywhere on the globe, check the traveler's health section at www.Cdc.Gov/travel. You will see areas to get information on destinations or specific diseases.
