What is Yellow Fever?
Yellow Fever is a potentially fatal viral infection transmitted by infected mosquitoes in:
✓ Sub-Saharan Africa
✓ Central & South America
✓ Parts of the Caribbean
Symptoms can range from mild fever and headaches to severe liver and kidney damage, bleeding, and death. The disease has no cure—vaccination is the most effective protection.
Who Needs the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
The vaccine is recommended or required for:
✓ Travellers visiting at-risk countries
✓ People entering countries with Yellow Fever certificate entry requirements
✓ Those transiting through a Yellow Fever country for more than 12 hours
✓ Travellers heading to rural or jungle regions where mosquitoes are prevalent
Even if you are only visiting cities, proof of vaccination may be required at border control.
