title: [Assessment of vaccination coverage among travelers to areas where yellow fever is endemic (Senegal)].
abstract: This prospective survey, conducted at the Dakar airport from August 18, 2011, to May 8, 2012, asked a sample of travelers living in France and returning there after a stay in Senegal to complete a questionnaire. The aim of the study was to assess the determinants of vaccination coverage against yellow fever. The study included 10 298 travelers, with a median age of 48 years (interquartile range: 27-58); 52% were tourists, and 22% were traveling for business purposes. The measured level of anti-yellow fever vaccination coverage was 39.3%. Vaccination coverage was influenced by the travelers' level of knowledge and their perception of the risk.
