Importance of travel vaccines when going to Medellin Colombia?

26M here. 6'2, 180lbs, white with semi-decent Spanish. I have friends living in Medellin so I will have people to ensure I don't stick out like a sore thumb or get into trouble.

My concern is around 3 diseases: yellow fever, typhoid, and hep B.

The CDC doesn't even recommend getting yellow fever vaccine, but I am still fairly concerned. I also don't have typhoid or hep B.

I am going to one of the more touristy and wealthy areas of Medellin, El Poblado. Should I be concerned about this or am I worrying about nothing?
