To avoid a lapse in yellow fever vaccine availability in the United States, the manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, has received approval from FDA to import Stamaril yellow fever vaccine. Stamaril is produced by Sanofi Pasteur in France and has comparable safety and efficacy to YF-Vax.  See the MMWR Addressing a Yellow Fever Vaccine Shortage — United States, 2016–2017 for further information for providers regarding yellow fever vaccine.
