Yellow Fever Vaccination Card

Yellow Fever Vaccination Card. The Federal Government of Nigeria plan to phase out the old version of Yellow fever Card and replace it with the new e-Yellow fever Card effective July 1, 2019.

A traveller with a valid Yellow fever Card shows proof of vaccination against yellow fever, which is a requirement for international travellers.

The introduction of the new e-Yellow fever Card is to check fake yellow cards which is now common. We still find fake yellow fever cards around despite this check.

Yellow fever vaccine is a vaccine that protects against yellow fever. This viral infection occurs in Africa and South America. You start to develop immunity within ten days and 99 percent are protected within one month if vaccinated. So you must be vaccinated at least 10 days to your travel.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routine immunization in all countries where the disease is common.
