How To Treat Diarrhea After Yellow Fever Vaccine Shot?

Im a 56 year old healthy male that had a yellow fever vaccine shot about a year ago. I had a bad reaction to the shot which caused diarrhea along with a very upset stomach that lasted 2 months. Is it possible to have a relapse from this vaccine as it was a live virus and I am having symptoms again?

Hi...diarrhea after yellow fever vaccine shot is very rare. But I agree that it could be because of the severe reaction of the vaccine. Once a severe reaction has occur after a vaccine, it can as well occur again. So be cautious and if it is a must, get the vaccine under medical supervision.
