Yellow Fever Vaccination

Yellow Fever Vaccine: Your Essential Travel Companion

Yellow Fever: Key Facts

Yellow fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, prevalent in certain parts of Africa and South America. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection. More information on Nathnac website.

Understanding Yellow Fever

Yellow fever can cause severe flu-like symptoms, jaundice, and in serious cases, organ failure and death. The risk of contracting yellow fever can be significantly reduced by more than 99% through vaccination. The yellow fever vaccine is highly effective and provides strong immunity within 10 days for 95% of people vaccinated, reaching 99% immunity within 30 days for nearly everyone. This makes the vaccine an essential preventive measure for those traveling to or living in areas where yellow fever is endemic.

The Significance of the Yellow Fever Vaccine

The significance of the yellow fever vaccine extends beyond individual protection; it plays a crucial role in global public health efforts to control the spread of yellow fever, a potentially fatal disease. This is why many countries require a certificate of vaccination for travelers coming from or passing through areas where yellow fever is endemic. There are several reasons for this requirement:

  1. High Fatality Rate: Yellow fever can lead to severe illness and death, with a fatality rate of up to 50% for severe cases. The disease poses a significant threat not only to unvaccinated travelers but also to populations in countries where yellow fever is not endemic, should an infected individual introduce the virus.

  2. Rapid Spread: Yellow fever is transmitted by the Aedes and Haemagogus species of mosquitoes, which are widespread in certain climates and can lead to rapid spread of the disease, especially in areas where mosquito control measures are not effectively implemented.

  3. Prevention is Key: There is no cure for yellow fever; treatment is supportive, aimed at alleviating symptoms. This makes prevention through vaccination the most effective strategy to protect individuals and communities from the disease.

  4. Global Health Security: Requiring proof of vaccination from travelers is a measure to prevent the international spread of yellow fever. It helps protect countries from potential outbreaks, especially those without endemic yellow fever but with the presence of the mosquito vectors that could transmit the virus.

  5. Historical Outbreaks and Epidemics: Yellow fever has caused numerous outbreaks and epidemics throughout history, with devastating health, social, and economic impacts. The requirement for vaccination certificates is a lesson learned from history to prevent future epidemics.

The International Health Regulations (IHR) of the World Health Organization (WHO) endorse the requirement for yellow fever vaccination certificates to ensure that travel and trade can proceed as freely as possible while minimizing the risk of yellow fever spread. This global health measure underscores the significance of the yellow fever vaccine in protecting individuals and preventing the resurgence of yellow fever worldwide.

Is the Yellow Fever Vaccine Safe for Children?

Yes, the vaccine is safe for children over 9 months of age, providing them with protection against the disease.

When Should You Get Vaccinated for Yellow Fever?

It is best to receive the vaccine at least 14 days before travel to ensure immunity and meet entry requirements for certain countries.

Duration of Yellow Fever Vaccine Immunity

The vaccine provides immunity for life for most people, with a booster recommended every 10 years for those at continued risk.

Countries Where Yellow Fever is Endemic or Requires Vaccination Certification

Many countries in Africa and South America are considered endemic zones, and some require proof of vaccination for entry.

It’s crucial to consult the latest travel health advisories from reputable sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or Travel Health Pro for the most current information.

Some Countries Requiring Proof of Yellow Fever Vaccination: Many countries, especially those in Africa and South America, require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry. This requirement often applies to travelers coming from countries where yellow fever is endemic or those who have transited through an airport in a country where yellow fever is present. Some countries that have historically required proof of vaccination include:

  • Brazil
  • Democratic Republic of Congo
  • Ghana
  • Kenya
  • Peru

Countries Where Yellow Fever is Endemic: Yellow fever is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and South America, where the Aedes and Haemagogus mosquitoes (the vectors that transmit yellow fever) are found. In the past ten years, significant outbreaks and transmissions have been reported in countries including:

  • Africa: Angola, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Kenya have reported outbreaks or have areas where yellow fever transmission is known to occur.
  • South America: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru have reported cases, particularly in parts of the Amazon basin.

It’s important to note that the situation can change, and new areas can become endemic or report outbreaks. For travelers, the key takeaway is to check the current requirements and recommendations for yellow fever vaccination well in advance of travel, especially if your itinerary includes countries in Africa or South America. Vaccination not only protects the individual but also helps prevent the spread of yellow fever across borders.

Honestly the experience was not great for allergy testing. The expectations that we would have results within one week took a few days longer. However the report was sent over with no sympathy or regard to the results. It was emailed with no explanation or phone call and the follow up phone call two days afterwards after I had to chase for it left me with so many questions. This is not a place I would recommend for allergy testing. The advice and follow up left me with so many questions unanswered and to refer to a specialist for further testing. I really wouldn’t recommend it. It was an expensive test left with so many questions…don’t waste your money and pay for the real thing

You have to pay and have it removed privately.VSM Pharmacy treated my problem professionally and book me in the same day. The lady who treated me was very kind and explained everything completely. I cannot speak too highly for the service I got. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Visited to have moles/warts on my back assessed, which were very professional and proficiently treated/removed.
Gone to this pharmacy as seen a lot of 5 star reviews and it did not disappoint, Jirina who has seen me for the ear wax removal was amazing, really lovely and very patient, turns out that there wasn't much ear wax in one of my ears, turns out to be a sore ear drum which explains the hearing loss, she explained everything in full detail on how to get it treated and recommended me for one of the ear sprays to calm it down, amazing job, would recommend this place

Easy to book compared to others and seem to be able to get quick appointments compared to say Specsavers offer. Comparable on price and only pay once until it has been cleared even if you have to return. so that's good.

Excellent service provided, I called in to book an appointment to have my Flu injection, the lady on reception asked me to hold on for a moment and when she returned I was told they could do it there and then. I just had to wait a couple of minutes, then all done. i would recommend anyone to go there its just a shame they are not doing the Covid Jab.

Jrini from VSM Pharmacy was extremely professional & reassuring when explaining how the Cryo Therapy would work regarding the removal of a verruca. I half expected to return within the 4-6 period after the treatment for another session, but it was successful first time & am very satisfied & would highly recommend.

This was the best experience I have had for removing earwax. Jirina uses Micro suction, it is far superior to other methods I have used. Apart from the superb method used VSM Pharmacy are wonderful and personal, Jirina is especially knowledgable in so many area’s which makes VSM Pharmacy our No 1 shop on the high street

I couldn't speak more highly of VSM Pharmacy. No matter what your needs are they are met by Jirina and her team. They were there throughout Covid giving advice, not giving a thought for their own safety, they truly are wonderful. Have to say Jirina gives a great vaccine, never have any problems after my flu jabs.

A Pharmarcy that very obviously cares about their clients. Any time I have visited I have been greeted in a friendly, efficient and professional manner. On the rare occasion something is out of stock they have managed to find an alternative or get the exact requirements fairly quickly. The team has a great delivery service using mainly local volunteers who not only deliver medicines but pause for a brief chat when possible.

It is the most amazing pharmacy. They always have lovely smiling faces and so very obliging for all the customers. I would NOT go anywhere else unless the Pharmacy was shut. To have a smiley face when you feel rough and a good laugh is all very uplifting. Thank you so much. Xxxx

We required 2 PCR tests for our outward journey and 2 Lateral Flow Tests for our return journey. Being a bit of a technophobe I was hesitant as to how to proceed with my applications, I needn't have worried. Jirina was excellent and smoothed the path for us, I have no hesitation in recommending VSM Pharmacy for their great service and fantastic customer care.

VJ is the kindest most caring pharmacist I have ever met. He went out of his way to check how I was coping after my husband died, he always has time for customers and his support has been invaluable to me. They delivered my prescriptions straight to my door in lockdown without me even asking. All of the staff are lovely people. I totally agree that VSM is the best pharmacy around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Appointment FAQs

The appointment will typically last 30 minutes to ensure we have enough time to go through our questionnaire and to assess which vaccination you require.

Of course. If you need an appointment for multiple people, please book one slot in the calendar and let us know how many people will be attending when filling in the form.

The clinician will ask you questions to assess which vaccine is the best option based on your personal circumstances, your medical history, your destination and length of travel among other things.

This will depend on the type of vaccination you require and the clinical assessment.

Our address is 124 Frimley Road, Camberley, GU15 2QN.

Our pharmacy travel vaccinations’ service is easily accessible from Camberley, Blackwater, Sandhurst, Frimley, Deepcut, Cove, Hawley, Mytchett, Crowthorne, Surrey Heath, Farnborough, Finchampstead, Ash Vale, Fleet, Bisley, Windlesham, Aldershot, Brookwood, Hartley Wintney, Sunninghill, Pirbright, Bagshot, Bracknell and many other locations in Surrey.

Vaccinations FAQs

Our clinician will determine which vaccination you need during the consultation. For more information on vaccinations per country, visit NaTHNaC.

It depends on the vaccination required. This is something that will be discussed with the clinician during the appointment. More information on children vaccination is available on the NHS Fit for Travel website.

Each vaccine is different and the pros and cons will be explained to you during the appointment. In most cases, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. Any medication has the potential to cause side effects and vaccines are the same in that respect.

This is different from vaccine to vaccine and depends on a number of factor. For maximum immunity, completing the full course is recommended.

We have some paediatric vaccines for children under 16 years old.

Pricing FAQs

The price per dose is available above. Please note that some vaccines require multiple courses which are also listed in the price list above. We advertise the price per dose as some customers may have received an initial dose previously and may only require the booster or one dose to complete the course.

The Travel Vaccination Clinic is a private service and unfortunately is not covered by the NHS.
