DCA 787 is the only base requiring the shot operationally. New hires are now required to have the yellow fever jab prior to starting new hire class at UAL. It's part of the legal questions that are presented at the end of the interview.
To the OP, only your 1st class medical is disclosed in your interview packet. Any questions about your personal health in the interview are not allowed.

As for YF itself, you don't want it.

The YF vaccine has been around since forever. It is a live attenuated vaccine, so there is a negligible, but near-but-non-zero chance you might actually get a YF-like illness from it, but it is well proven in the 80+ years they've been using it. It confers life long immunity.

Actually, UA actually did conduct their own physicals decades ago requiring among other things different vision standards than the FAA. They got challenged about it and fought it up to the Supreme Court - and won. That lead to Congress eventually changing the Americans with Disabilities Act to prohibit that sort of discrimination.
