Because yellow fever is spread primarily in the tropics and subtropics, it is not a routine vaccination in the UK. Spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, yellow fever is a viral disease that might seem fairly harmless at first, but later develops into headaches, fever, muscle aches and pains and nausea. Later, it can result in damage to the liver and yellowing of the whites of the eye, giving it the name yellow fever.
In 2013, the World Health Organisation recorded 45,000 deaths from yellow fever, 90% of which occurred in Africa. The majority of cases occur in countries with poor sanitation or little access to chemicals including insecticides. Some countries have made yellow fever vaccination compulsory for entry to the country, so it is important to ensure you comply with all the travel vaccinations required before you set off on your trip.
There is no known cure for yellow fever, and those infected with it can occasionally need hospital admission or even treatment in intensive care. This is why it is important to ensure you have the yellow fever vaccine before you travel. At our designated travel clinic, we can offer the yellow fever vaccine in Ramsgate at a competitive price to make sure you are ready for your trip before you get on a plane.
