What is Yellow Fever?

A serious viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions of Africa and South America

Viral Infection

Caused by a virus transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes or Haemagogus mosquitoes, primarily found in tropical regions of Africa and South America.

Serious Symptoms

Symptoms include fever, headache, jaundice (yellowing of skin), muscle pain, nausea, and vomiting. Severe cases can cause organ failure.

No Cure, But Preventable

There’s no specific treatment for yellow fever, but the vaccine provides excellent protection. A single dose offers lifetime immunity.

47 Risk Countries

Found across sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America, including popular destinations like Kenya, Brazil, Peru, and Colombia.

Important: Vaccination Required for Entry — Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry. As Wilmslow’s Registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, we provide internationally recognised certificates on the day of vaccination at our clinic.
