Yellow fever vaccine: People over 60 yrs of age may have increased risk of adverse events but they may benefit from vaccination if their risk of catching yellow fever vaccine is high . Please consult with a travel health doctor for advice .

I'd do it: There's an epidemic right now. As an older adult, you're more at risk for serious side effects from the vaccine, but the risk is still small. Depending on where you're going, you may have a very high exposure risk. Discuss this with your physician.
