Adaptive immune responses to booster vaccination against yellow fever virus are much reduced compared to those after primary vaccination

Abstract Outbreaks of Yellow Fever occur regularly in endemic areas of Africa and South America frequently leading to mass vaccination campaigns straining the availability of the attenuated Yellow Fever vaccine, YF-17D. The WHO has recently decided to discontinue regular booster-vaccinations since a...
