“…Indeed, nursing infants have been infected with yellow fever transmitted through breast milk of vaccinated mothers. [57][58][59][60] Maternal immunization (before, during pregnancy, or immediately postpartum-cocoon effect) is thought to be a strategy to provide high levels of IgG in the neonate. Rowe et al 61 studied the relationship between maternally acquired TT-specific IgG present before diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccination and subsequent TT-specific Tcell memory responses in 12-and 18-month-old infants; they showed a strong positive association between TT-specific cellular immunity and maternal TT-specific IgG.…”

Neonates and nursing infants are special with regard to immune development and vulnerability to infectious diseases. Although breast-feeding is essential to modulate and prime immune defenses, vaccines (an interventional prophylaxis) are crucial to prevent and control infectious diseases. During nursing, the type of feeding influences infants' natural defenses (including gut colonization) and their response to vaccines, both through cell-mediated immunity and specific antibody production. Given the variety and combination of vaccine components (antigens and excipients, preservative thimerosal, and aluminum adjuvants) and route of administration, there is a need to examine the role of infant feeding practices in intended and nonintended outcomes of vaccination. Maternal factors related to milk constituents (nutrients and pollutants) and feeding practices can affect response to vaccines. Collectively, studies that compared type of feeding (or used breast-feeding-adjusted statistical models) showed significant influence on some vaccines taken during infancy. Nurslings deprived of the full benefit of breast-feeding could have altered immune responses affecting vaccine outcome. In the absence of studies elucidating neurodevelopment (including excitoxicity) and immunotoxicity issues, vaccination practices should promote and support breast-feeding.

The World Health Organization coordinated a comprehensive, systematic review of the countries and areas at risk for yellow fever (YF) virus transmission. The review applied the following evidence to each country and area considered: human and non-human YF cases, human serology for anti-YF antibody obtained prior to widespread YF vaccination, altitude, vegetation, and vector distribution. The result was the categorization of countries or areas as endemic, transitional, low potential for infection, or no risk. This information was adapted to create a map that defined the areas where vaccination against YF may be recommended. Travel health professionals, countries, and public health bodies can use this information as they determine recommendations and requirements for vaccination. This paper reviews the process and outcomes of the review of YF risk, and places it in the context of providing YF vaccination.
