Yellow
fever is a viral infection which is transmitted by
mosquitoes. The vaccination is recommended for travelers
to Central Africa, Central America and South America.
Certain
countries do require proof of the yellow fever
vaccination in order for travelers to be permitted
entry. Proof of vaccination is also needed for entry
into many countries if a traveler has visited a yellow
fever region.
The
doctors of the Swansea Road Clinic are qualified to
administer the yellow fever vaccination and provide the
accompanying documentation. |
