Where To Get
Where to access a Yellow Fever vaccine?
IN SUMMARY
DETAIL
The nature of the Yellow Fever vaccine makes it critically important that the staff administering the vaccine are well versed in its use, especially who can and cannot have the vaccine safely. Clinics need to have all the right equipment and knowledge to safely deal with side effects.
In many countries, Yellow Fever vaccine is only given by authorised doctors who have undertaken extra training. In Australia, this is not the case, merely having the licence to give yellow fever vaccine does not mean the doctor has any special expertise in its use.
The doctor will discuss the Yellow Fever vaccine and discuss the other travel health issues that are relevant, so you will be well prepared for your journey.
