Zambia & Yellow Fever Shots

Hey all, just an FYI, my outfitter at Adventure Unlimited (excellent.company) has just informed me of a change in CDC regulations, now requiring Yellow Fever shots for travel to and from Zambia.

I'll be there in less than three months!

I don't think it's a change in the CDC regs, since nothing to that effect has been published. Also, it looks like the requirement is just for people passing through South Africa.
