What is Yellow Fever?

Yellow fever is a serious viral illness transmitted by infected mosquitoes, primarily in parts of Africa and South America. The infection develops within 3–6 days and common symptoms include:

➤ High fever & severe headache

➤ Yellowing of the eyes (jaundice)

➤ Muscle & back pain

➤ Chills and fatigue

In some cases, yellow fever can progress to serious complications including liver failure and death. Thankfully, one vaccine offers lifelong protection — and we’re here to help you get it safely.

Why You Need the Yellow Fever Vaccine

➤ Travel Requirement: Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry

➤ Global Protection: Prevent outbreaks in both travelers and the local population

➤ Lifelong Immunity: A single dose typically provides lifelong protection

➤ Peace of Mind: Travel confidently, knowing you’re protected from a potentially deadly disease

➤ Africa:
Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal, Sudan, Uganda, Togo, and more.
