Yellow fever describes the symptoms people get when they are affected by the Yellow Fever i.e their eyes become yellow (jaundiced) and they develop a high fever.
The disease is caused by a virus which is transmitted to people after they are bitten by an infected mosquito. The disease causes jaundice because of liver damage, bleeding, fever and can eventually become fatal. Current fatality rates are around 8-10%. The Yellow Fever travel vaccination is highly effective at stopping the disease from developing. Yellow fever vaccination is effective from around 10 days after vaccination. It is however a live vaccine therefore to people whose immune system is reduced for example those who have recently had chemotherapy, those on immune modulating medications and those with HIV whose CD4 count is below 200 should not be vaccines with this travel vaccine. As an occupational physician with post graduate training in travel health, Dr Nomy can assist patients in deciding whether its safe to get Yellow Fever travel vaccine. As humans can also transfer the disease when they travel from affected countries to non- affected countries, an international certificate for yellow fever vaccination is required for travel to several countries. The Yellow Fever certificate comes into effect ten days after vaccination and now lasts the lifetime. People who have previously been vaccinated can be vaccinated again if they lose or misplace their certificate. Source: https://www.flyingmedicine.uk/yellowfever-vaccination
