What is Yellow Fever?

Yellow fever is a serious viral disease transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito, commonly found in:

🌍 Parts of Africa

🌎 South & Central America

🏝️ Trinidad in the Caribbean

Unlike some infections, yellow fever does not spread through direct human contact—only through mosquito bites. The disease can causefever, jaundice, liver damage, and, in severe cases, fatal complications.

Do You Need a Yellow Fever Vaccination?

Certain countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. This proof is provided through an International Certificate of Vac

cination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), which is valid for life.

When you receive your yellow fever vaccination at Broadway Pharmacy - Weight Loss And Travel Clinic, you’ll be issued a yellow fever certificate immediately. Ensure that the details on your certificate match those on your passport to avoid travel issues.
