What is Yellow Fever?
Yellow Fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection found in tropical regions of Africa and South America. It can cause serious illness, and while there’s no cure, a single dose of the vaccine typically provides lifelong protection.
You may need the vaccine if:
- You’re travelling to or transiting through a Yellow Fever–endemic country
- Your destination country or airline requires proof of vaccination
- You’re a Canadian traveller heading to affected regions
Without proper vaccination and documentation, entry can be denied or boarding refused.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Do I need a Yellow Fever vaccine for my trip?
Yes—if you’re heading to a Yellow Fever risk zone (Africa, South America) or even transiting through one. Many countries require proof of vaccination for entry. Check with our pharmacist or the Government of Canada travel advisory. - When should I get vaccinated?
At least 10 days before travel. This allows time for your immunity to build and for your certificate to be valid at the border. - How long does the Yellow Fever vaccine last?
Most people are protected for life after one dose. Some destinations may still ask for a booster, depending on their local regulations. - What is the “Yellow Card” and why do I need it?
The Yellow Card (ICVP) is your official proof of vaccination, required by many countries. We provide it immediately after your shot. - 5. Is the Yellow Fever vaccine safe?
Yes—for most adults, side effects are mild (e.g., soreness, fatigue). It’s not suitable for infants under 9 months or certain medical conditions. We’ll review your health history to ensure it’s right for you.
