Travel With A Yellow Fever Certificate

By Jonny Blair


A Yellow Fever Certificate is not just essential, but compulsory in some countries. You need to get one before heading off on any kind of adventurous travel. You'll be asked for your Yellow Fever Certificate at some airports and a few land border crossings. Don't take any risks. Get your Yellow Fever Injection before you head off round the world. I'm saying this because it's better to have it in advance than suddenly decide you want to fly to Namibia in two weeks and you won't have time to get a quick one. Of course if you're not a nomad or a spontaneous traveller then you may not need one if you already know the countries you are going to and whether they are at risk or not.

Before setting off on your journeys, it's important to check what injections you need. Pop to see your local travel doctor and they will assist you. Tell them where you are planning to go. In terms of getting the Yellow Fever injection here are the important things to note:

1. Countries will ask to see evidence of it at borders, both land and air. It's better to be prepared for it and have your certificate ready. Why risk getting refused entry to a country?

2. To get a Yellow Fever Injection you need to pay around $60 AU Dollars.

3. Have faith in the travel doctors. They really know what they are talking about and they will help you. Just head there and get the injections - it's much better to be protected against deadly diseases than take any risks.

4. Make sure your Yellow Fever Certificate is stamped and has a doctor's signature on it for it to be valid.

5. The only place you can get a Yellow Fever Certificate is from a proper Yellow Fever Approved Vaccine Centre.

6. Make sure you take your Yellow Fever Certificate everywhere you go. Carry it at all times - you never know when it will be asked for.

7. Your Yellow Fever Certificate should run for ten years.

Due to the seriousness of this subject, it's highly important that you head to your local travel doctor and check with him based on the countries you are heading to.

To ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trip it's very important to know what injections you need.

Yes, I have built a lifestyle of travel, but I couldn't do it without my Tuesday's Travel Essentials and I certainly wouldn't have risked doing Africa and parts of South America without having my Yellow Fever Certificate.

What is Yellow Fever? - A deadly disease which has symptoms such as fever, chills and muscle pain.

How does Yellow Fever spread? Similarly to most diseases it is through the bite from a mosquito. Take all precautions.

What countries are affected by Yellow Fever? Most of Africa and parts of South America and Asia.

How much does a Yellow Fever Vaccination cost? - Depends on country, and individual cost of clinic. As a good estimate, I'd say $40 US is a good price and $90 US and you're being ripped off. But again, TAKE NO RISKS!
