Yellow Fever Vaccination

Yellow fever is a serious infection spread by mosquitoes. It's found in parts of Africa, South America, Central America and the Caribbean.

Yellow fever vaccine can stop you getting it if you're travelling to an area where the infection is found.

Yellow fever vaccination

The yellow fever vaccine is recommended if you're travelling to:

• an area where yellow fever is found
• a country that requires you to have a certificate proving you have been vaccinated against yellow fever

You need to have the vaccine at least 10 days before travelling to give it enough time to work. Your certificate will only be valid after this time.

The vaccine and certificate are only available from registered yellow fever vaccination centres.

The jab is not usually given for free on the NHS. We charge £65 per vaccination. Book online or call us on 01724 864138

The vaccine provides lifelong protection, so you won't normally need a booster dose or a new certificate if you have been vaccinated before.
