Overview
Yellow Fever is a serious viral infection spread by mosquitoes in tropical regions of Africa and South America. While many infections are mild, severe cases can cause high fever, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), bleeding, and organ failure — with a fatality rate of up to 50% in severe cases. The Yellow Fever vaccine is one of the most effective vaccines available, providing lifelong protection from a single dose. At Holborn Clinic, we are an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre designated by the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC). This means your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is recognised worldwide. Many countries require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination as a condition of entry, particularly if you are arriving from or transiting through an endemic area. Without a valid certificate, you may be refused entry, quarantined, or vaccinated at the border.
