Yellow fever is a viral infection spread by mosquito bites, most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. It can cause serious complications, including jaundice and organ failure, and, in severe cases, can be fatal.
Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination as a condition of entry, particularly if you are travelling from or through an affected region. As a registered centre, Touchwood Pharmacy issues the official ICVP certificate upon vaccination.
The yellow fever vaccine is considered to provide lifelong protection for most people following a single dose. A booster may be recommended in certain circumstances, which our team will discuss with you at your appointment.
Yellow fever vaccination is not routinely available on the NHS. It must be administered at an approved centre such as Touchwood Pharmacy, making our private travel clinic in Lichfield the most convenient local option.
Most people experience only mild side effects such as a temporary headache, low-grade fever, or soreness at the injection site. Serious reactions are rare, and our team will discuss all possible side effects with you before proceeding.
