Travellers Need a Yellow Fever Certificate
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. Some countries ask for it on border control so its better to have the certificate ready to show them rather than risk not having it and being turned away.
2. You almost always have to pay for it. I cannot remember the cost of my Yellow Fever Vaccination, though it was somewhere in the region of $60 AU Dollars (in 2010).
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. Ensure your Yellow Certificate is valid. It needs to have a stamp and a doctor's signature on it.
5. Your Yellow Fever Certificate needs to be from an Accredited Yellow Fever 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.
On a final note, subjects like this are very serious and while this is my view on it, remember I am not a doctor so please, please check with your travel doctor first on what injections you need for certain countries.
It's really worth getting to keep you safe on your journeys!
As a global nomad it's important to embrace the cultures and places you go and part of this journey is staying safe and healthy on your travels.
What is Yellow Fever? - A potentially deadly, fatal hemorrhagic disease consisting of fever, headache, vomiting, chills, nausea, muscle pain (in brief - you don't want it!!)
How do you get it? Like most diseases it is from an insect bite from a mosquito. Stay safe and protected.
Where is Yellow Fever a risk? Africa is at high risk and lower risk is 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!
