Generally, when vaccinating to ensure their own health, girls should avoid menstrual holidays, of course, when vaccinating, doctors will also ask many questions, such as whether they are allergic to proteins, whether they have received other vaccines, etc. In addition, after receiving the yellow fever vaccine, some people are all normal, and some people will have symptoms such as fatigue and low-grade fever, but they can generally recover in about 7 days.
