Yellow fever | Live vaccine | 1x | In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO), after evaluating the available evidence, determined that lifetime protection should be assumed after a single yellow fever vaccination. |

Basically, for intervals between different vaccinations:
- Live vaccines can be administered simultaneously; if not administered simultaneously, then an interval of four weeks should be observed for live viral vaccines
- No intervals need to be observed for inactivated vaccines
