Yellow Fever Vaccine
What is yellow fever vaccine?
Yellow fever vaccine is a virus vaccine to protect against yellow fever which is a mosquito-borne disease found in parts of Africa and South America. It is mandatory for all visitors arriving or transiting through yellow fever risk areas.
How far in advance do I need to get the vaccine before traveling?
It is recommended to be vaccinated at least 10 days before travelling to high-risk areas. The International Certificate is valid 10 days after vaccination and remains valid for the life of the person vaccinated.
Can I get other vaccines at the same time?
Yellow fever vaccine can generally be given with other vaccines, with a few exceptions. Please call us to discuss if you intend to have other vaccinations together with the yellow fever vaccinations.
What are the side effects of the yellow fever vaccine?
Typical reactions to the yellow fever vaccine include soreness at the injection site, headache, fever, muscle and joint pains. There are potentially life-threatening reactions though rare such as allergic reaction, involvement of the nervous and gastrointestinal system. Hence the vaccination is not recommended for persons over 60 years old.

How much does yellow fever vaccine cost?
