What are the actual chances of getting yellow fever in Dakar Senegal in December?

I am pregnant and do not want to risk getting the vaccine for yellow fever now. But my husband and I have a trip planned to Dakar to see his family that he has not seen in 6 years. I am not sure what to do because I have not had the yellow fever vaccination, but if we don't go now I don't want my husband to have to wait any longer to go. Any advice would be appreciated!

You need to discuss this with travel doctor and NOT yahoo. My info says vaccine is needed but I am not pregnant and you are. If you don't get the vaccine, you should bring a needle kit because they may insist you get the vaccine at the border and at the very least you don't want to use their needles.
