Stay Protected with Yellow Fever Vaccination

Yellow Fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, primarily in parts of Africa and South America. The vaccine is the best protection against the disease, which can be severe or even fatal. Vaccination is often required for entry into certain countries to prevent the spread of the virus.

Requirements depend on your travel destination and any transit countries. Many countries in Africa and South America require proof of vaccination for travelers. Check with our clinic for specific requirements based on your itinerary.

Ideally, get vaccinated at least 10 days before your trip, as it takes time for immunity to develop and for the vaccination certificate to become valid.

The Yellow Fever vaccine typically provides lifelong immunity with a single dose, and the International Certificate of Vaccination is valid for life as well. However, some countries may have specific recommendations, so it’s best to verify your requirements before each trip.

Yes, as a certified Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, we provide the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), which is required by many countries for entry.

Bring your passport, any previous vaccination records, and any health insurance information. This will help us provide accurate documentation and process any insurance coverage if applicable.

Most people experience mild side effects like soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. Serious reactions are rare but can include allergic reactions or neurological symptoms. Our team will go over all potential side effects with you before vaccination.

While safe for most people, the vaccine may not be recommended for those with weakened immune systems, infants under nine months, pregnant women, or individuals with certain allergies. We’ll assess your medical history to ensure the vaccine is safe for you.

Yes, many travelers receive multiple vaccines in one visit. Our team can help you determine which vaccines you may need based on your destination and travel activities.

Coverage depends on your insurance provider. Our pharmacy can bill for prescription-related costs directly to your insurance to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

The vaccine is generally safe for children over nine months old. For children under nine months, it’s usually not recommended unless travel to a high-risk area is essential. Our team can advise you based on your child’s age and health.

For most people, a single dose provides lifelong immunity, so a booster is generally unnecessary. However, specific countries may still require boosters under certain conditions, so check your travel requirements.

If you lose your certificate, contact our clinic. We can reissue it if you received your vaccine with us, as we keep records of administered vaccinations.
