Registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre serving South East London. Lifetime protection with official International Certificate included.
Yellow Fever is a serious viral disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes across sub-Saharan Africa, South America and parts of Central America. In severe cases, the disease carries a case fatality rate of up to 50%. There is no specific antiviral treatment — vaccination is the only effective prevention.
Many countries legally require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, even if you are simply transiting through an airport in an affected region. Without an official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), you may be denied boarding, quarantined on arrival, or refused entry entirely.
Three compelling reasons why yellow fever vaccination is essential for travel to affected regions — not optional.
Many countries in Africa, South America, and Asia require a valid yellow fever certificate for entry. This includes countries with no yellow fever risk but requiring proof if you’ve travelled from endemic areas. Your certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.
Yellow fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions. Most people experience mild symptoms fever, headache and muscle pain that usually clear within a few days. However, in a small number of cases the virus can cause serious complications affecting the liver and kidneys.
There is no specific treatment once infected. A single vaccination provides 99% protection within 30 days and your certificate is valid for life.
Unlike many travel vaccines, yellow fever vaccination provides lifelong immunity from a single dose. Your official certificate is valid for life, even if it shows an old expiry date — certificates issued before 2016 are still valid under WHO rules.
Yellow fever is endemic across large areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South America. If your itinerary passes through or near these regions, you almost certainly need vaccination and certification.
Sub-Saharan Africa (47 countries at risk). West Africa carries the highest risk.
Central and South America (13 countries). Amazon rainforest regions carry the highest risk.
Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for all eligible travellers visiting or transiting endemic regions. Our pharmacist will assess your individual circumstances.
Anyone aged 9 months or older travelling to or through countries where yellow fever occurs or where a certificate is required for entry. This includes tourists, business travellers, volunteers, and those visiting friends and family.
Even if you're not staying in a yellow fever country, transiting through airports in endemic regions may require certification for onward travel. Many Asian and island nations require proof if arriving from Africa or South America.
