What it is
Yellow fever is a viral disease that ranges from mild to severe, and severe cases can cause jaundice, bleeding and organ damage. There is no specific treatment.
How it is caught
It is spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical parts of Africa and South and Central America, and in Trinidad.
Who it is advised for
Vaccination is recommended for people aged nine months or older travelling to countries with a risk of yellow fever, and for those going to countries that require a vaccination certificate for entry. It is not suitable for everyone, so a health check is needed first.
The vaccine course
The vaccine is a single dose, and protection lasts at least 35 years and may be lifelong. You are given an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, which is now valid for life.
Where it is given
Yellow fever vaccine is only available at registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres. It is not free on the NHS.
