TRAVEL ADVISORY YELLOW FEVER ALERT | GET THE FACTS !!!

Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The "yellow" in the name refers to the jaun- dice (yellowing of the eyes) that affects some patients. Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. A small pro- portion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days. The virus is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America. Yellow fever is prevented by an extremely effective vaccine, which is safe and affordable. Travellers are being alerted and advised to take precautionary measure when travelling to and from Yellow Fever infected countries. Before travel- ling to or from at risk countries, ensure that you consult your doctor to receive your Yellow Fever Vaccination and your immunization certificate as proof of vaccination.
