Yellow fever is caused by yellow fever virus, it is a potentially lethal disease spread by infected mosquitoes. The virus is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America.
Large epidemics of yellow fever occur when infected people introduce the virus into heavily populated areas with high mosquito density and where most people have little or no immunity, due to lack of vaccination. In these conditions, infected mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti specie transmit the virus from person to person.
Once contracted, the yellow fever virus incubates in the body for 3 to 6 days. The symptoms of Yellow Fever emerge in three stages:
A small proportion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days.
Yellow Fever is most typically found inSub-Saharan African and South America . you may need a certificate if you’re traveling from Africa or South America.
Occasionally travellers who visit yellow fever endemic countries may bring the disease to countries free from yellow fever. In order to prevent such importation of the disease, many countries require proof of vaccination against yellow fever before they will issue a visa, particularly if travellers come from, or have visited yellow fever endemic areas. we will provide the certificate.
Yellow fever is prevented by an extremely effective vaccine, which is safe and affordable. A single dose of yellow fever vaccine is sufficient to confer sustained immunity and life-long protection against yellow fever disease. A booster dose of the vaccine is not needed. The vaccine provides effective immunity within 10 days for 80-100% of people vaccinated, and within 30 days for more than 99% of people vaccinated.
