What Is A Yellow Fever Vaccination?

The vaccination itself is carried out here in our travel clinic using Stamaril, the only licensed Yellow Fever vaccine available for use here in the UK. One single dose will keep you protected for up to 10 years. If you will be at risk of infection beyond this period, ask about a booster dose before the 10-year period is up. The vaccination or booster must be administered 10 days before you travel, or in terms of a booster shot, 10 days before the 10th anniversary of the original vaccination. This will allow your body sufficient time to develop protection.

What About Yellow Fever Vaccines for the Over 60’s?

When it comes to the Yellow Fever Vaccine age isn’t considered a contraindication to a Yellow Fever vaccination and vaccination can be given to those aged 60 years and older following risk assessment and as long as certain precautions are observed. When considering the vaccination of a traveler who is aged 60 years and older a fully comprehensive risk assessment should be undertaken. This risk assessment should balance; the risk of the vaccine with the risk of acquiring YF at the destination (actual risk may be difficult to determine).

The discussion should also include whether there is a certificate requirement (under International Health Regulations) by any country to be visited.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Certification

If the country you are travelling to requires a certificate of vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), we can issue you with one, but please note that it will not become valid until 10 days after your Yellow Fever Vaccination. It is always a good idea if you’re going to be travelling around within a Yellow Fever designated risk area (i.e. from country to country) to make sure that you carry your certificate with you. If you cannot produce it on entry into any country, that country may offer you another vaccination, but would then have to hold you in isolation for a period of 10 days before allowing you to enter.

Possible Side Effects Of The Yellow Fever Vaccine

Once the Yellow Fever Vaccine has been administered, between 10% and 30% of people experience mild side-effects, which can include:

These mild side-effects can take up to 5 days to manifest themselves.

How Long is the Yellow Fever Vaccine Duration?

With some exceptions, protection from a Yellow Fever vaccine can last for at least 35 years and could be lifelong. Reinforcing immunisation with booster doses can be offered to a small subset of travellers who could be a continuous risk.

Where is yellow fever found?

Yellow fever tends to come from the sub-Saharan desert, most of South America, Central America, and the Caribbean, so should you be visiting or travelling to any of these areas, it’s important that you get vaccinated. It isn’t found in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands, so you don’t need to worry about these areas.

It is worthwhile considering that some countries which are near to the sub-Saharan desert, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean, you may require proof of vaccination certificate when visiting. Even if there’s no risk of catching yellow fever, it’s still a requirement.

Should this apply to you, Broadgate’s yellow fever clinic in London can provide you with vaccinations and the paperwork.

How does yellow fever spread?

Yellow fever is a virus spread by mosquito bites; you won’t catch it from having close contact with someone who has it. Mosquitos that spread the infection tend to be found in towns and rural areas and they mainly bite during the day.

If you know that you’ll be travelling to an area where yellow fever will be found, you should try to avoid being bitten, even if you’ve been vaccinated, mosquitos can also spread other serious illnesses like malaria and dengue. As well as yellow fever vaccines, additional precautions that you can take include using mosquito nets, wearing clothes that cover your arms and legs and using insect repellent which contains 50% DEET.

Should you have any questions about yellow fever or vaccinations, simply call your local yellow fever vaccine clinic in London, Broadgate GP.

Vaccination healthcare concept

Yellow Fever Prevention

As well as having a timely yellow fever vaccination, we also advise that you protect yourself from mosquito bits while you are abroad, using a mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeved tops and long trousers will help to deter mosquitoes as well as reduce your risk of catching the infection. You may also wish to take a mosquito coil or plug-in device away with you to use in your accommodation. By avoiding swamps and other mosquito breeding grounds you can minimise your exposure to insect bites, ideally you should stay in places with air conditioning or use an insect mesh screen in front of all windows.
