Hi ladies,

I'm planning a trip to  Brazil including the amazonas.

Do any of you know if there is a problem with the yellow fever vaccine after chemo?

Any input and/or experience, will be greatly appreciated.

  I haven't heard of anything, but the bcg vaccine has been actually used to boost immune systems in cancer patients. You might get a surprise benefit!!!

  Well. Got the shot. Had a great time on my trip:-)
  
  No problems at all! Went to a special clinic for travellers and consulted my onc. They all said I could get it.
