Is There Now A Risk For Getting Yellow Fever For Me?

[notinthemoodnow]

Hi my question is as follow:
We live in Europe. We are going to Bonaire for 2 weeks and stay with my family. There is no yellow fever or malaria vacination needed for bonaire. I have asked authorithies.
However my boyfriend decided to last minute today rush and get vacinnated for yellow fever. We are going to a place where there are mosquiots. My family is not vacinated i am not vacinated. It is whitin minimum of 10 days. He now has the virus in his system.
Is he puting me and my family (elderly and childeren) at risk for bringing the virus to a place where it can be transfered to them by mosquitos? when it is was clear that there was no risk for yellow fever in Bonaire and he is within 10 days?
thank you.

I doubt it.

No
"I just received the yellow fever vaccine. Do I need to avoid contact with my immunocompromised family member?

No. There is no evidence that people who receive yellow fever vaccine shed the vaccine virus. Therefore, there is no need to avoid people including those whose immune systems do not work well."

The Travel Health Pro website (funded by the British Government to provide accurate information to travellers and health professionals) confirms that there's no risk of Yellow Fever in the former Netherlands Antilles:

Yellow Fever vaccine is produced from an attenuated virus. It can't harm your boyfriend (unless he's got a severely immunosuppressed system, as with some HIV patients) and it can't harm anyone who is bitten by a mosquito which has already bitten him.

Indeed, if your boyfriend had been travelling Bonaire from a country where Yellow Fever exists, the authorities would INSIST that he'd had the vaccination before allowing him to enter. (They'd hardly have such a rule if they regarded having a vaccinated person in their country as a threat to others around him!)
