Yellow Fever is a viral disease that is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It can cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, muscle pain, and nausea. In some cases, it can progress to a more severe stage, causing jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), bleeding, and organ failure. Around 10% of the cases progress to a severe case and the death rate could be 30% to 60% in these severe cases. Yellow fever is preventable through vaccination and controlling the mosquito population.

Yellow Fever risks exists in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Below is the list of countries with risk of Yellow Fever virus transmission: Africa Angola Benin Burkina Faso Cameroon Central African Republic Chad Congo, republic of the Cote D’lvoire Democratic Republic of the Congo Equatorial Guinea Ethiopia Gabon The Gambia Ghana Guinea Guinea-Bissau Kenya Liberia Mali Mauritania Niger Nigeria Senegal Sierra Leone South Sudan Sudan Togo Uganda Central and South America Argentina Bolivia Brazil Colombia Ecuador French Guiana Guyana Panama Paraguay Peru Suriname Trinidad and Tobago Venezuela Certain countries with low potential for exposure for yellow fever virus include Eritrea, Rwanda, Sao tome and Principe, Somalia, Tanzania, and Zambia.

Travellers to areas where yellow fever is present are at risk of contracting the disease if they are not vaccinated. The risk of yellow fever varies depending on the location, time of year, and activities of the traveler, and duration of the stay. Generally, the risk of yellow fever is highest in rural areas and during the rainy season, when mosquito populations are at their highest. While there is no accurate data, according to Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, for a 2-week stay, the estimated risks for illness and for death due to YF for an unvaccinated traveler visiting an endemic area are as follows: In West Africa, 50 per 100,000 and 10 per 100,000, respectively In South America, 5 per 100,000 and 1 per 100,000, respectively

Certain countries with a risk of Yellow Fever may require proof of vaccination - the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis - upon arrival. Additionally, some countries with no risk of yellow fever may still require proof of vaccination for the yellow fever vaccine if you are travelling from a country with a risk of yellow fever. Our expert team members can help you figure out whether you need proof of vaccination for your itinerary, even if you are not going to a yellow fever risk area. Our expert would also provide additional tips on precautionary mosquito bite preventions to further reduce your risk.

To reduce your risk of yellow fever, you should get vaccinated at least 10 days prior to your trip. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from this potentially life-threatening disease.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It's caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. At our travel vaccination clinic, we offer tuberculosis skin testing (also known as a Mantoux test) as part of our range of services to help protect our clients from this infectious disease.

The TB skin test is a simple and painless test that involves injecting a small amount of a substance called purified protein derivative (PPD) into the top layer of the skin on your forearm. This test is designed to detect whether your body has been exposed to the TB bacterium.

TB skin testing is recommended for people who are at increased risk of exposure to the TB bacterium, such as those who work in healthcare settings or who have traveled to countries with high rates of TB. It's also recommended for individuals who have been in close contact with someone who has active TB.

The results of the TB skin test are read between 48 and 72 hours after the injection. The test measures the size of the raised, red bump (or induration) that appears at the site of the injection. If there is no bump or if it is very small, it usually means that you have not been exposed to the TB bacterium. If the bump is large, it could indicate a past or present infection. However, a positive result does not necessarily mean that you have active TB disease – further testing, such as a chest x-ray or sputum test, is usually required to confirm the diagnosis.

If you have a positive TB skin test, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine if you have active TB disease. Treatment is available for both latent TB infection (which means the bacteria are present in the body but not causing symptoms) and active TB disease.
