Purpose of review: This decade has seen a resurgence of yellow fever (YF) that has also affected travelers with a record number of international travelers infected by YF virus including the first documented importation of YF into Asia.Recent findings: The recent resurgence of YF has been attributed largely to sub-optimal vaccination coverage along with waning population-level immunity. With increasing YF cases in travelers, travel medicine providers need to familiarize themselves with the diagnosis and clinical management of severe YF. reinforce the generally acceptable safety profile of YF vaccine, but highlight the importance of continued physician and traveler education regarding the risks and benefits of YF vaccination, particularly for older travelers. There is an urgent need to better define "significant and unavoidable risk" for better benefit-risk assessments.
