Transmission is through the bite of infected mosquitoes mostly Aedes Egypti mosquito, the same vector that transmits Dengue, Zika and Chukungunya viruses.
Hence mosquito bite avoidance is vital in Yellow fever endemic regions.
Yellow fever is currently the only vaccine for which there is an Internationally recognised certificate which may be required as a condition for entry.
The Yellow fever vaccine provides lifetime protection after one dose.
As a designated Yellow fever centre, we can provide this vaccination and certificate.
