Yellow fever is a viral infection spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. The best way to prevent yellow fever is through vaccination and protection against mosquito bites.
Here are the main ways to prevent yellow fever:
- Get the Yellow Fever Vaccination
Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself against yellow fever.
-
A single dose of the yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting, generally lifelong protection for most people.
-
The vaccine should ideally be given at least 10 days before travelling to a yellow fever risk area.
-
Some countries require an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) as proof of vaccination.
-
Speak to a qualified healthcare professional to check whether the vaccine is suitable for you.
- Protect Yourself from Mosquito Bites
Even after vaccination, it is important to avoid mosquito bites.
-
Use an effective insect repellent containing DEET.
-
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers.
-
Choose accommodation with screened windows and doors or air conditioning.
-
Use mosquito nets where appropriate.
-
Consider treating clothing and equipment with suitable insecticide products.
