What is Yellow Fever?
Yellow Fever is a preventable viral infection transmitted predominantly by certain species of day-biting mosquitoes. This virus causes jaundice and bleeding, damaging major organs. Ensure protection with the yellow fever vaccine at Beech Road Pharmacy in Manchester.
Recommend this vaccine for travellers to regions with yellow fever, such as sub-Saharan Africa, South America, Central America, Trinidad, or countries mandating vaccination proof.
You should be vaccinated at least 10 days before you travel to allow enough time for the vaccine to work. If you or your child has had the MMR vaccine, you or they must wait at least 4 weeks before having the yellow fever vaccine.
If it is not possible to leave a 4-week gap, the yellow fever vaccine should be given but an additional dose of MMR should be considered at a later date. Re-vaccination with the yellow fever vaccine can also be considered on an individual basis for those at ongoing risk.
Prevention
To prevent yellow fever, get vaccinated before travel. Mosquito repellent and protective clothing help avoid bites. Stay vigilant in affected areas.
Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate
Some countries require a certificate showing you have been vaccinated before you’re allowed entry. This is known as an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). All vaccination certificates are now valid for life, including older ones with an expiry date on them. You’ll be given a certificate when you’re vaccinated at Beech Road Pharmacy.
