yellow fever vaccine

Jungle disease prevention

A vaccine that provides immunity against yellow fever, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions of Africa and South America.

The vaccine uses a live but weakened form of the virus and typically confers lifelong protection with a single dose.

Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, documented in an international certificate: You'll need a yellow fever vaccine before traveling to Brazil.
