ABOUT THE DISEASE
What is Yellow Fever?
A serious viral infection spread by mosquitoes in tropical regions
Mosquito-Borne
Spread by infected Aedes mosquitoes that bite during the day, particularly at dawn and dusk.
Viral Infection
Causes fever, headache, jaundice, and in severe cases can lead to organ failure and death.
Tropical Regions
Found in parts of Africa and South America. Over 40 countries are considered at risk.
No Cure
There is no specific treatment for Yellow Fever. Prevention through vaccination is the best defence.
SERIOUS RISK
In Africa in 2023, WHO data shows an 11% case fatality rate overall
In severe cases, Yellow Fever can be fatal — confirmed outbreaks have recorded fatality rates of 40% or higher. There is no antiviral treatment. Vaccination provides the best protection and is required for entry to many countries. A single dose gives lifelong protection for most travellers.
