Can Yellow Fever Vaccine Be Administered While Trying To Conceive?
I am currently trying to conceive but need a yellow fever vaccine as part of my job. The practice nurse and my doctor said i would have to stop trying to conceive for 3 months if i have the vaccine. Is this advice correct as i can not find information any where?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Yellow fever vaccine is a live vaccine and should not be taken during pregnancy or while trying to conceive, as it can adversely affect the fetus.
If you have to take the vaccine, you should delay the pregnancy as advised.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
