What is Yellow Fever?

Yellow Fever is a serious viral illness spread by mosquitoes in tropical areas. It can cause:

  • High fever, muscle pain, and nausea

  • Liver and kidney failure

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

  • Internal bleeding and, in severe cases, death

There is no specific treatment. Vaccination is the best and only reliable protection.

Where is the Yellow Fever Vaccine Required or Recommended?

The Yellow Fever vaccine is required or strongly advised if you're travelling to or through affected regions. You may also need an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP) for entry.

High-Risk Countries (Selected List):

Africa:

  • Ghana

  • Nigeria

  • Democratic Republic of the Congo

  • Kenya

  • Uganda

  • Angola

  • Ethiopia

Who Should Get the Yellow Fever Vaccine?

We recommend Yellow Fever vaccination for:

  • Travellers to high-risk destinations

  • Anyone passing through a Yellow Fever-endemic area

Possible Side Effects

The Yellow Fever vaccine is safe for most people. Mild side effects can include:

  • Mild fever or tiredness

Severe reactions are extremely rare. Our clinicians will assess your medical history before vaccination and answer any questions.

When Should You Get Vaccinated?

Book your vaccine at least 10 days before travel. Some countries will not accept the certificate if this minimum timeframe hasn’t passed before entry.

We offer appointments Monday to Saturday, and can often accommodate short-notice travellers.

Additional Yellow Fever Prevention Tips

Even after vaccination, you should still take mosquito precautions:

  • Use insect repellents containing DEET or picaridin

  • Wear long sleeves and trousers in mosquito-prone areas

  • Sleep under a mosquito net or in air-conditioned rooms

  • Avoid outdoor activities at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active
