Yellow Fever Shot Required! Shock!

I was the first person in-line for my check in agent. I was shocked when she said the Yellow Fever shot was required. I did not have this shot. My dream of going on a world cruise was about to go up in flames.

I had paperwork from Princess saying there were no health advisories. All those checking in around me had theirs. But luckily down the row there was a batch of people who did not have theirs. So it wasn't just me. I also did not bring my immunization record card which proved what I did have. I was asked to step aside while they checked in those with the little yellow cards. After a short time the call came down, those without Yellow Fever shots could board but there will likely be no disembarking in Papua New Guinea without it.

thanks for posting that info, Michelle. It gives us advance warning of what to expect, though I hope they'll have it sorted out by the time we board the RP

Thank you for the info. Our Kaiser Travel Medical rep gave us Yellow Fever shot waivers instead of the shot.
