Yellow fever vaccine for Yellow Fever Prophylaxis Reviews
"I had the yellow fever vaccine.and 1 month later the skin on my hands and feet fell off 3 times. It made me very sick unable to do my job or even walk 60 feet. It's 6 months later and I am still sick. It also affected my eyesight. I would not recommend this to anyone."
Stamaril (yellow fever vaccine) "After taking the Stamaril vaccine, I had a mild fever and body ache. Prior to taking this vaccine, I had an HIV test (4th generation, CMIA) that tested negative. After taking this vaccine, I tested positive for HIV, despite no risk of getting it! I suspect that this vaccine caused false-positive results for Antigen/Antibody tests (RT-PCR results negative when I checked). Now, I am worried as to when this will clear out."
"I had yellow fever vaccination three weeks ago I am now concerned that my muscle aches and pains and lack of power in my legs arms and shoulders are marginally getting worse. It appears that when I rest for five hours sleeping or sit down in the afternoon for two hours it is extremely hard to get out of bed in the morning and out of the chair in the afternoon. It gets slightly better as the day goes on but if I sit in the chair at night or two hours tends to come back but not so bad as the morning. I have decided to go back to the doctor for some more advice. I have had three professionals give me advice over the last three weeks, they tend to say just sit it out. I am on heart medication for a stent but I don't think this has any concern."
"I suffered skin itching, headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle pain and a stubborn mucus cough that lasted for months . It has taken me two years to recover. The GP clearly didn't read the warning that this vaccine is not recommended for anyone over 60."
"Had to get this to go on a trip to Africa. In the following months was fatigued, poor gut health and generally unwell. Got Lymes as well. I believe it compromised my immune system in a bad way. No vaccine is good."
