National
Guidelines for Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres and Providers (Links to an

information for doctors and nurse practitioners seeking to be eligible to
prescribe the yellow fever vaccine. It contains information on the
history, epidemiology and clinical features of yellow fever, vaccine
recommendations, and best practice and accreditation procedures for providers
and approved practices.
This course is based on the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention
