What the vaccine does
Yellow fever is a serious disease spread by mosquitoes in parts of Africa and South America. You may need a certificate for entry to certain countries. Book at least ten days before travel so your certificate becomes valid in time.
One dose gives long lasting protection for most people. A booster may be suggested in specific situations after a clinician reviews your itinerary and risks. Bring your travel dates and routes to your appointment. You will receive clear notes and your certificate after vaccination.
Some people should not have this vaccine. This includes babies under six months, people with severe allergies to ingredients, and those with a weakened immune system. If you are over sixty, pregnant, or breastfeeding, the pharmacist will discuss risks and alternatives.
Mild side effects can include soreness, headache, and a temperature. Serious reactions are rare. Rest, drink fluids, and avoid strenuous exercise on the day. Use bite avoidance measures on your trip. Ask us about repellents, clothing tips, and evening protection.
Planning your appointment
Aim to book at least six weeks before travel so you can plan other vaccines too. The minimum safe window is ten days before departure for your certificate to become valid. Last minute options may be available. Call us for guidance.
Do you need a booster?
Most people will not need another dose. A booster may be advised if you are at ongoing high risk, work with the virus in a laboratory, or had your first dose when very young or during pregnancy. Ask our pharmacist for personalised advice.
