Vaccines for overseas travel

Hi! I hope this question is ok to ask here. I am planning to travel to Africa next year for the first time. I am certain there will be vaccines required or suggested in order to enter. Given that my gut feeling is to now not trust any vaccine, I wondered if anyone could weigh in on what might be safe/acceptable to comply with? Or is there a way to avoid all recommended shots? Has anyone been to Africa and felt ok with getting the yellow fever vaccine? I’m just trying to process this all and figure out my game plan. Thanks in advance!
