Frequently Asked Questions
Yellow Fever Vaccine
The yellow fever vaccine provides lifelong immunity for most people. Booster doses may be necessary for individuals with increased risk of exposure.
The yellow fever vaccine provides effective immunity within 10 days for 80-100% of people vaccinated, and within 30 days for more than 99% of people vaccinated.
Certain individuals should avoid the vaccine due to high risk, including:
- – Infants under 6 years
- – Those with severe allergies to vaccine components or eggs
- – Individuals with severe immunodeficiency (e.g., undergoing chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS)
- – Women breastfeeding infants under 9 months
- – Individuals with Guillain-Barré syndrome
- – Pregnant women and the elderly (unless travel to high-risk areas is unavoidable).
Several countries in Africa, Central, and South America require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry. Travellers should check their destination’s requirements well in advance and carry necessary documentation, such as a valid Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis. Failure to provide proof may lead to entry denial or quarantine. Click here for the list of countries that require the yellow fever vaccination.
It is generally recommended to receive the yellow fever vaccine at least 10 days before your trip to give your body enough time to develop immunity against the virus. So, plan your vaccination 4 to 6 weeks before departure to ensure adequate protection.
If you experience any adverse reactions after receiving the yellow fever vaccine, such as severe allergic reactions, persistent fever, or muscle weakness, contact your doctor immediately. However, it is important to remember that while adverse reactions to the yellow fever vaccine can occur, they are rare.
You do not need the yellow fever vaccine in Singapore.
