About The Vaccine
Vaccination has been available for over 60 years.
The vaccine certificate is valid from ten days after immunisation, for the life of the person vaccinated – provided your immune system is normal and you are over 2 years age.
The Yellow Fever vaccine can interfere with other vaccines so the scheduling must be planned accordingly.
Side Effects
Although this is a safe vaccine for most persons, the risks of vaccination are not zero.
Mild Side Effects
More Serious Side Effects?
It is very concerning, but we have to tell you that there are rare reports of people even dying from this vaccine. Usually, this is because an individual has a particular medical condition and was given the vaccine when their immune system was not capable of processing it.
Travellers over 65 years of age (and especially males over 65) need a detailed discussion with their travel doctor regarding the relative risk of side effects from the vaccine versus the risk of contracting Yellow Fever disease.
