Yellow Fever is a viral infection that’s transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. The symptoms of Yellow Fever can range from mild to severe and can include fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. In some cases, Yellow Fever can lead to severe liver damage and death.
Getting vaccinated against Yellow Fever is the best way to protect yourself from this potentially deadly disease. Yellow Fever vaccination is required for entry into certain countries and is recommended for travellers who are visiting areas where Yellow Fever is prevalent. The vaccine is safe and effective and provides long-lasting protection against the virus.
The Yellow Fever vaccine is a live, attenuated virus that’s injected into the body to trigger an immune response. The immune system responds by producing antibodies that protect against the virus. The vaccine is effective for at least 10 years and provides immunity to 99% of people who receive it.
The Yellow Fever vaccine is recommended for anyone who is traveling to areas where Yellow Fever is prevalent, especially if you’re planning to spend time in rural or jungle areas. Some countries require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination for entry, so it’s important to check the entry requirements for your destination before you go.
