Put each of your medications in this checker and it will tell

I see another poster mentioned Cipro... Anyone with a neuropathy would be wise to avoid it and other drugs similar to it like Levaquin and Avelox if POSSIBLE. These drugs have been shown to cause nerve damage in some people. Used with NSAIDs or prednisone (or any steroid) makes the risk higher.

Of course if there is no other option for you, you'll have to take one of them perhaps. But if you can request something else, I'd try that first.

This is the CDC vaccine site...yellow fever vaccine is near the bottom.
