yellow fever vaccinations
Going to Burkina this summer. Got vaxxed against YF 10 years ago before I went to Ivory Coast. And 10 years is the time after a YF vaccination gets officially invalid (at least in Burkina Faso). Lucky me, it's under 10 years. Barely, though. I wasn't able to find any information on this:
Does the YF vaccination have to be valid
-just on the day of entry
-on the day of the return flight
-on the last day of your visa
-6 months after the entry (same rule as for the passport)?
Given that I don't plan other trips inthe the YF-zone I'm not too keen to refresh it (which according to medical studies is not even necessary). But I've got even less intention to get vaccinated at an african airport. I'm aware, that airport staff might not know the rules anyway and do whatever they feel like is sensible, but does anybody here know what the rules should be?
