Yellow Fever-A Safari can be a trip of a life time. Yellow fever could be your worst nightmare.
Yellow Fever is a serious disease that is transmitted through mosquitos. It is found in Africa and Central and South America. It can seem like a flu like illness, but can progress to liver failure, hemorrhagic symptoms, and multi organ failure. In severe cases death can range from 20-50%.
The good news is there is a vaccine. Mosquito avoidance measures, i.e. repellents, nets, etc can reduce your risk as well. The vaccine is required once in your life time. Yellow fever is only available at specific clinics as it is requires trained knowledge specific to the risks of yellow fever and the risk and benefits of the vaccine for the traveler and their destinations. To enter into certain countries a Yellow Card or Yellow Card Waiver is needed for all travelers. White Mountain Travel Health, PLLC Is approved by the State of NH to Provide Yellow Fever Vaccine.
