Any doctor who has done the online yellow fever vaccination training module on the ACRRM website will be aware of this resource.

It’s a straight-forward, one-page pdf that presents a set of questions you need to ask the patient to see whether there are any contraindications to them receiving the yellow fever vaccination or indeed any live vaccine.

The checklist has been derived from information in the Australian Immunisation Handbook, and it is both succinct and comprehensive.
