About

About the Yellow Fever Vaccination

When should you get it?

Recommended for travel to risk areas of sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Some countries legally require a certificate to enter. Have it at least 10 days before you travel.

Vaccine schedule

A single dose gives lifelong protection for most people. It must be given at a registered centre — which we are.

Booster requirements

A booster isn't usually needed; one dose protects for life under current guidance, though a few specific situations may warrant a second dose.

How it's given

A single injection. You'll receive an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP), valid from 10 days after the jab.

How long does protection last?

Lifelong for most people from a single dose.

Possible side effects

Usually mild — headache, muscle aches or a low fever a few days later. Serious reactions are rare and we screen carefully first.

Who should not have it?

It may not be suitable if you're pregnant, immunocompromised, have a thymus disorder or are allergic to eggs — we assess this carefully at your appointment.

Risk if you contract yellow fever

Yellow Fever can cause high fever, jaundice and bleeding, and is fatal in a significant proportion of severe cases. There's no specific cure, so vaccination is essential for risk areas.
