Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease, which is transmitted through the bite of a contaminated mosquito. Symptoms can include fever, chills, severe headache, nausea, and in severe cases jaundice, bleeding or even organ failure.
The most popular countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Central and South America where yellow fever vaccination is required or recommended are Argentina, Brazil, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Peru, Tanzania and more.
There are numerous countries that require Yellow Fever vaccination in order to be allowed entry into the country. SanoMed Travel Clinic is a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre approved by the Public Health Agency of Canada. With every vaccination, the travel clinic nurse will provide patients with their International Certificate of Vaccination. If the patient is unable to receive the vaccine due to medical reasons, a Certificate of Medical Contraindication to Vaccination will then be provided instead.
