We will do our best to schedule your appointment as you need. Yellow Fever is a viral disease that is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. This disease occurs in many countries in Africa and South America, and it is believed that the incidence of Yellow Fever is greatly underreported among local populations. For travelers to rural parts of Yellow Fever risk areas, the risk of contracting the infection is high, even if the country has not officially reported the disease and does not require evidence of immunization on entry.
Travelers are wise to receive the vaccine prior to out of country travel.
Often times the countries you are entering have outdated information and try to give you the injection prior to your entering their country. The sterility of needles and syringes in these situations is questionable. Getting the vaccine and having it documented on an official International Certificate of Vaccination is your best protection. There are many areas of international travel in which our clinic can assist you. Although you must have an appointment for travel immunizations, generally we can accommodate you within 24 hours.
