The clinic notes that the standard yellow fever vaccine is currently unavailable in the United States except at CDC-designated clinics that offer an alternative French-manufactured version. It advises patients to download and complete a travel medicine questionnaire before their visit, and it notes that the cholera vaccine (Vaxchora) must be taken on-site, with patients avoiding food and drink for 60 minutes before and after administration.
