Patient Experiences
Official Yellow Fever Card
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before entry.
If you receive the vaccine at our clinic and documentation is appropriate, we can issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, commonly called the yellow fever card or yellow card.
The yellow fever card becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.
Do I Need the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
You may need the yellow fever vaccine if you are traveling to a country where yellow fever is present or where proof of vaccination is required for entry.
Some countries require the vaccine for all travelers. Other countries require it only if you are arriving from, or transiting through, a yellow fever risk country.
Because the rules depend on your exact itinerary, we review your destination and transit route during the visit.
When Should I Get the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
If your destination requires proof of yellow fever vaccination, try to get the vaccine at least 10 days before travel.
This is because the yellow fever card becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.
If you are leaving sooner, you should still contact us. Vaccination may still be useful depending on your destination and entry rules.
What Is the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
The yellow fever vaccine helps protect against yellow fever, a serious mosquito-borne viral infection found in parts of Africa and South America.
The vaccine is usually given as a single shot. For most travelers, one dose provides long-lasting protection.
Some countries require proof of vaccination before entry. The official proof is called the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.
Who Should Be Careful With the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
The yellow fever vaccine is a live vaccine. It is safe for many travelers, but it is not appropriate for everyone.
Some people should not receive the vaccine, including:
✓Children younger than 6 months
✓People with a severe allergy to a vaccine component, including egg, chicken protein, or gelatin
✓Some people with severe immune system problems
Some travelers need special medical review before vaccination, including:
✓Adults age 60 and older
✓Infants 6–8 months old
✓Pregnant or breastfeeding women
✓People with HIV
✓People with thymus disorders
✓People with cancer or organ transplant history
✓People taking steroids, chemotherapy, or other immune-suppressing medications
The decision depends on your health, destination, and risk of exposure.
If the vaccine is not appropriate, the doctor can discuss mosquito precautions, itinerary changes, and whether a medical waiver may be appropriate.
Yellow Fever Vaccine Side Effects
Most side effects are mild.
Common side effects may include:
✓Soreness or redness at the injection site
✓Low-grade fever
✓Headache
✓Muscle aches
✓Tiredness
Serious reactions are rare but can occur.
Seek emergency care or call 911 if you develop difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, severe dizziness, fast heartbeat, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.
How Long Does the Yellow Fever Vaccine Last?
For most travelers, one dose provides long-lasting protection.
A booster is usually not needed, but some travelers may still need one depending on destination rules, outbreak risk, or medical condition.
During your visit, we can review whether you need a first dose, booster dose, certificate, or medical waiver.
