Yellow fever--languages I'm missing

I am again working on my revision of the yellow fever info for the Health Branch FAQ. A couple of years ago I collected "yellow fever" and "official vaccination center" in a number of languages. I'm now going to make some multiple posts.

I'd like to get information in these languages, in both Roman & original script if possible:

Russian, Bulgarian and any other languages using Cyrillc

Thai

Japanese

Any language used in India

Arabic

Turkish

the WHO has information on it's website in the official languages which include Russian and Arabic. Here is the web page in Arabic:

Japanese:
Yellow fever --- 黄熱病 --- ounetsu-byou
Official vaccination center --- 予防接種指定医療機関 --- yobou-sesshu shitei iryou-kikan

In Japan, however, yellow fever vaccinations are only available at the 11 government Quarantine Stations (called 検疫所 ---ken'eki-sho) located in major cities across the country, in addition to the quarantine stations at Narita and Kansai airports, and two offices of Japan Quarantine Association in Tokyo and Yokohama. (Yellow fever vaccinations are given on only one day a week, require reservation, and cost about US$80.) So, if "official vaccination center" refers to medical facilities offering a variety of vaccinations, you may use the translation I provided above, but if you are only referring to "official facilities to receive yellow fever vaccinations", it may be helpful to say: 黄熱病の予防接種が 受けられる機関 --- ounetsu-byou no yobou-sesshu ga ukerareru kikan.

Not sure if this link helps you, but it is an English-language health page from Ishikawa Prefecture. Scroll down to "Immunizations". Immunizations

жълта треска in Bulgarian.
Romanization will be 'zhulta treska/'zhalta treska''

Throw your hands in the air like you just don't mind.

You can put a bullet through my head, but you can't kill the word I said.
