ABOUT YELLOW FEVER

What is Yellow Fever?

A serious viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions of Africa and South America

Viral Infection

Caused by a virus transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes or Haemagogus mosquitoes, primarily in tropical Africa and South America.

Serious Symptoms

Symptoms include fever, headache, jaundice (yellowing of skin), muscle pain, nausea, and vomiting. Severe cases can be life-threatening.

No Cure, But Preventable

There's no specific treatment for yellow fever, but the vaccine provides excellent protection. A single dose gives lifelong immunity for most people.

47 Risk Countries

Found across sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America, including popular destinations like Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, and Peru.

WHO NEEDS IT

Do you need the yellow fever vaccine?

Yellow fever vaccination is required or recommended for travel to many countries. Requirements depend on your destination and travel history.

Required for Entry

Mandatory

Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, especially if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Without a valid certificate, you may be refused entry or vaccinated at the border.

Strongly Recommended

Recommended

Even if not mandatory, vaccination is strongly recommended for your protection when visiting areas where yellow fever is present. The risk of infection is real and the disease is serious.

Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry. As Sheffield's official Yellow Fever Centre, we provide internationally recognised certificates on the day of vaccination.

For most people, the yellow fever certificate is valid for life following a single dose. This is the WHO standard since 2016. However, some individuals may need a booster — we'll advise based on your circumstances.

Yellow fever vaccination must be given at least 10 days before travel. The certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure you're protected before your departure.
