Important Information Regarding the Yellow Fever vaccination
This is the most common vaccination which is legally-required for passage through customs. Most travellers visiting either Africa or South America will require this vaccine. Our clinic is a World Health Organisation accredited yellow fever vaccination centre. Once you have been administered the vaccine our Doctor will issue you with a signed special certificate called International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis which you MUST present when passing through customs in certain countries. At times, other vaccinations may be legally required under special circumstances based on international updated vaccination requirements.
Be sure to check out our destination specific guides for information about Yellow Fever, as well as other vaccinations and general travel advice for your holiday / travel destination:
