Don’t let a missing Yellow Fever certificate disrupt your trip. Fast, professional vaccination appointments available at our NaTHNaC-approved travel clinic in Newark.
Flying to Africa or South America? Many countries require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination before entry — and some airlines may refuse boarding without a valid certificate. At Holden’s Travel Clinic, Newark, we are now an official NaTHNaC-approved Yellow Fever Centre, offering travel health advice, Yellow Fever vaccination and International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis from our Newark clinic.
💉 What the Yellow Fever Vaccine Protects Against
Yellow Fever is a serious mosquito-borne viral illness found in parts of Africa and South America. It can cause high fever, jaundice, bleeding, organ failure and, in severe cases, death.
- Single dose gives lifelong protection for most travellers.
- International Certificate issued on site after vaccination.
- Provided by trained travel health clinicians at our Newark clinic.
Common misconception: Yellow Fever risk is not limited to remote jungle travel. Outbreaks can occur near cities, towns and tourist regions, so itinerary-specific advice is important before you travel.
⚠️ Why Acting Early Matters
Your Yellow Fever certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Leave it too late and you may risk visa delays, denied boarding, quarantine or problems at border control. Book early so your vaccination and paperwork are in place before departure.
🌍 Do You Need the Yellow Fever Vaccine?
You may need Yellow Fever vaccination if visiting or transiting through countries with Yellow Fever risk or certificate entry requirements, including:
- Africa: Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo and others
- South America: Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and others
- Any country requiring a valid Yellow Fever certificate because of your travel route or previous transit

🕓 When to Book
Ideally, book 2–4 weeks before travel. Your certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, so early booking is strongly recommended.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

One dose provides lifelong protection for most travellers. Boosters are rarely needed.
How soon before travel should I get vaccinated?
Your certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Ideally, book 2–4 weeks before travel.
Can I get my Yellow Fever certificate at the appointment?
Yes. If vaccination is suitable, your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis can be completed at the clinic.
What if I’m pregnant, over 60 or immunocompromised?
We’ll complete a medical risk assessment. Yellow Fever vaccination is not suitable for everyone. If vaccination is not appropriate, we can advise on next steps and whether a medical exemption certificate may be appropriate.
