Nigeria has reported an ongoing outbreak of yellow fever. Cases have been reported in at least 7 states, and a number of people have died. Anyone 9 months or older should be vaccinated against yellow fever before travel to Nigeria. Because of a total depletion of supply of YF-Vax, the manufacturer has made an alternative yellow fever vaccine (Stamaril) available at select locations. Due to this limitation in availability, you may need to refer travelers to a yellow fever vaccine provider well in advance of travel. Visit our website (www.cdc.gov/travel) to find a Stamaril vaccination clinic.
