Get Your Yellow Fever Vaccination – Safe, Convenient, and Trusted

Planning to travel internationally? Make sure you’re protected from Yellow Fever – a potentially serious viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, found in parts of Africa and South America. If you’re heading to regions where Yellow Fever is endemic, a Yellow Fever vaccination is not only recommended but often required for entry. At Calamvale Central Family Practice, we offer quick, convenient Yellow Fever vaccinations to keep you safe and healthy while traveling abroad.

What is Yellow Fever?

Yellow Fever is a viral infection transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. Symptoms can range from mild fever to severe liver damage, causing jaundice, bleeding, and even death in some cases. It’s important to get vaccinated, especially if you’re traveling to regions with ongoing transmission of the virus.

Countries that require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination typically have high rates of the disease. The Yellow Fever vaccine is your best protection against this potentially deadly illness and is a safe, effective measure for travelers heading to endemic areas.

Why You Need a Yellow Fever Vaccination

• Travel Safety: If you’re traveling to specific regions in Africa or South America, many countries require travelers to show proof of Yellow Fever vaccination upon arrival. This proof is issued in the Yellow Fever International Certificate of Vaccination.
• Health Protection: The Yellow Fever vaccine provides immunity against the virus for up to 10 years. It’s a safe, one-time vaccine that protects you from serious health risks.
• Government Requirements: For travelers heading to certain countries, obtaining the Yellow Fever vaccination is a mandatory entry requirement. Not having proof of vaccination can result in denied entry or quarantine.
• Peace of Mind: Enjoy your trip with confidence, knowing you’ve taken the necessary steps to protect yourself and others from the spread of infectious diseases.

Who Should Get the Yellow Fever Vaccination?

The Yellow Fever vaccine is recommended for anyone planning to travel to countries where Yellow Fever is endemic, including:

• Sub-Saharan Africa and South America
• Countries with ongoing outbreaks of Yellow Fever
• Long-term travelers or expatriates living in endemic regions
• Individuals traveling for work, humanitarian efforts, or eco-tourism in affected areas

Note: Children aged 9 months and older and adults of all ages can safely receive the Yellow Fever vaccine. Pregnant women or individuals with certain medical conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before getting vaccinated.

How the Yellow Fever Vaccine Works

The Yellow Fever vaccine contains a live, weakened form of the virus, which stimulates your immune system to build protection without causing disease. It is highly effective, with 90% immunity provided within 10 days of vaccination.

A single dose of the vaccine is all that is needed to provide protection for up to 10 years. After receiving the vaccination, you’ll receive an official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), which is recognized worldwide and may be required for entry into certain countries.
