Yellow Fever Vaccine Bournemouth

At our designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre in Bournemouth. We administer Stamaril and issue the official ICVP at the same appointment, with same-day availability and no GP referral required.

If your itinerary includes port stops in yellow fever endemic countries, the ICVP may be required for entry at those ports. Cruise lines often also specify vaccination requirements in their health documentation. Check your itinerary carefully and confirm requirements with your clinician.

Current pricing is on our booking page. The ICVP is included in the appointment fee. Call us for a quote.

Under WHO guidance updated in 2016, a single dose provides lifelong protection for most healthy adults. The ICVP is valid for life. Some borders may still query certificates issued before 2016; re-vaccination is an option.

Our Bournemouth clinic can issue a medical exemption letter. This is not accepted at all borders; your clinician will advise on which destinations are likely to accept it.

Mild reactions are common: soreness at the injection site, mild headache, low-grade fever and muscle aches for a few days. Two rare but serious adverse events exist: YEL-AVD and YEL-AND. Both are extremely rare, estimated at about 1 in 250,000 to 1 in 400,000 doses. Risk is slightly higher in those over 60. Your clinician will discuss this before vaccination.

For most healthy adults, yes. However, those over 60 who have never been vaccinated require an individual clinical assessment before the vaccine is given, as the rare serious adverse events associated with yellow fever vaccination occur at a slightly higher rate in older first-time recipients. Your clinician will assess whether vaccination is appropriate given your destination and health. For most older travellers to endemic regions, the risk of yellow fever substantially outweighs the vaccine risk.

A YFVC is a clinic designated by NaTHNaC to administer the yellow fever vaccine and issue the ICVP. Only registered YFVCs can legally issue the certificate. Our Bournemouth clinic holds this designation. A GP practice, pharmacy or unregistered clinic cannot provide a valid ICVP.

Same-day appointments are often available. The ICVP becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, so you must be vaccinated at least 10 days before you enter a country that requires it.

Yes. For healthy young adults travelling to endemic regions in Africa or South America, the vaccine is recommended and well tolerated. The ICVP will be required for entry to many of the most common gap year destinations.

Yes. We offer typhoid, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningitis ACWY, rabies and other travel vaccines at our Bournemouth clinic. Most can be given at the same appointment.
