Ba’ad as Salaam il Jameel:

There is some confusion regarding yellow fever vaccine. This is what is known:1) Tanzania requires yellow fever vaccine for entry for anyone coming from a yellow fever country, including anyone transiting but leaving the airport or transiting for greater than 12 hours. US is not one of these countries.2) Dar es Salaam jamaat has sent out messages recommending *everyone* have yellow fever vaccine (ideally 10 days prior to arriving).  We have confirmed with jamaat this message was sent as a precautionary measure. 3) They are working on but cannot confirm or guarantee availability of vaccine at airport if necessary. 4) Vaccines are available in Thousand Oaks at a jamaat discounted rate of $150. Pre-order required 5) list of yellow fever countries can be found here : http://ift.tt/lwQ6bF

6) Tanzania now considers the yellow fever vaccine certificate to be valid for life.
