This product is made only by sanofi-pasteur, and only licensed physicians that are registered with their state health departments can order this vaccine.

Yellow fever vaccine: This is a live vaccine that protects against the yellow fever virus. A live vaccine means that it is a weakened form of the actual virus, so people with weakened immune systems (hiv+, on steroids, etc) can actually get ill from it. A single injected dose protects for up to 10 years.
