What Is Yellow Fever?
Yellow Fever is a serious viral infection transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is found in certain tropical regions of Africa and Central and South America.
Symptoms can include fever, headaches, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting. In some cases, the infection can progress to severe illness.
Vaccination is an important way to protect against Yellow Fever, alongside measures to prevent mosquito bites.
Do I Need a Yellow Fever Vaccination?
Whether you need a Yellow Fever vaccination depends on your travel destination, itinerary, personal medical circumstances and the entry requirements of the countries you plan to visit.
Some countries require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination as a condition of entry, particularly when arriving from a country where Yellow Fever transmission is a risk.
Vaccination may also be recommended for your personal protection, even where it is not a mandatory entry requirement.
Our travel clinic can help you understand the relevant recommendations and requirements for your journey.
Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate
Following vaccination, eligible travellers receive an official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP).
This certificate provides internationally recognised evidence of Yellow Fever vaccination and may be required when entering certain countries.
Important information:
- The Yellow Fever vaccination certificate normally becomes valid 10 days after your first vaccination.
- For most travellers, a single dose provides long-lasting protection.
- Under International Health Regulations, a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is generally recognised for the lifetime of the vaccinated person.
- Some travellers may require additional clinical advice or a further dose depending on their circumstances.
We recommend booking your appointment well in advance of your departure date.
Who Can Receive the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
The Yellow Fever vaccine is suitable for many travellers aged 9 months and above, although individual suitability must be assessed.
As it is a live vaccine, it may not be appropriate for certain individuals, including some people with weakened immune systems, particular medical conditions or specific allergies.
Additional assessment is necessary for certain age groups, pregnant or breastfeeding travellers and people with relevant medical histories.
Our healthcare professionals will assess your suitability before administering the vaccine.
