Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

• The Yellow Fever vaccine is a live attenuated, lyophilized (freeze-dried) vaccine, which means it is weakened and freeze-dried for preservation.
• The vaccine uses the 17D strain, which is highly effective and widely used.
• After reconstitution, the vaccine must be used immediately; while it can be used within 6 hours, this is not a universally true guideline.
• A vaccination certificate is valid after 10 days of receiving the vaccine, as per international travel requirements.
