Yes -- it is always a good to check with your doctor before getting shots.
Yellow fever shots are good for only 10 years -- and the older you get the % of having a reaction to the yellow fever shot increases and you can die of organ failure.
My husband in the last 11 1/2 years has had a stroke, a heart attack and just this past January was diagnosed with Parkinson's. He had been told -- no more yellow fever shots.
I have not had any problems until June 2007 when I got a typhoid shot -- within 48 hours I had a reaction and had a mini stroke. Doctor has advised - no more yellow fever shots for me.
