How Dangerous Is It For Me To Receive The Yellow Fever Jab?

I am 69 years old and have been advised against having the Yellow Fever jab. I shall be taking antimalaria tablets before I travel to Peru and taking precautions, such as spraying the bedroom, and using 50% Deet spray. How dangerous is it for me to receive the Yellow Fever jab?

HI, taking yellow fever vaccine is not at all dangerous. at the most, you will have feverishness and flu that subsides in few days, instead it protects you from a life threatening disease.. hope this helped.
