How Can Yellow Fever Be Prevented?
Advise all persons, especially unvaccinated persons traveling to yellow fever risk areas, to practice strict mosquito-bite prevention measures. Such measures include the following:
• Staying in air-conditioned or well-screened quarters
• Minimizing exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants
• Using insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin
• Applying permethrin-containing repellents to clothing
• Sleeping under bed nets when air-conditioned or well-screened bedrooms are not available
• Avoiding areas where mosquitoes breed
• Helping to eliminate mosquito breeding sites
