Yellow Fever vaccination

What is Yellow Fever?

Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in parts of Africa and South America. Illness can include fever and muscle pain, with jaundice or bleeding in severe cases.

Who should consider vaccination?

Your itinerary and transit countries may affect both health recommendations and entry-certificate requirements. Suitability needs particular care for some age groups and medical conditions.

Your vaccination plan

A single dose is usually used. A first international certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Vaccination must be provided by a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre; contact us to confirm local provision or referral before booking.

At your appointment

• Bring your travel dates, destinations and previous vaccination records.
• Tell us about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions and any previous vaccine reactions.
• We’ll explain suitability, possible side effects, the cost and any follow-up doses before you decide.

Your questions, answered

Can I book this vaccine directly?

Yes, you can request this service. The pharmacist will assess suitability and confirm availability before treatment. If you are unsure, select a travel-health consultation.

What if I have already had some doses?

Bring any records you have. The pharmacist will check your previous course and discuss what, if anything, is needed next.

Will I need another appointment?

That depends on the vaccine and your history. We’ll explain the schedule; one booking reserves one appointment, not an entire course.
