Who Should Get the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
Many countries in Africa and South America are endemic for yellow fever. Travelers to these areas should consider receiving the yellow fever vaccine based on their destination of travel, itinerary, planned activities, risk tolerance, and medical history. Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccine for entry into their country.
Some individuals should not receive the yellow fever vaccine. Our experts will help you determine if it is safe for you to receive the yellow fever vaccine. A medical waiver may be recommended should we determine it is not safe for you to receive the vaccine.
Many countries have yellow fever. You can view the CDC's list of affected countries here.

When Should I Schedule This?
Schedule your appointment with us 2-4 weeks in advance of your trip. The Yellow Card (your official proof of having the yellow fever vaccine) is valid 10 days after you receive the vaccine. Some countries require this Yellow Card to get into the country, so proper planning is important.
