Advice for Travellers

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers over 1 year of age arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission and for travellers having transited more than 12 hours through the airport of a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.

Travellers are advised to check the YF certificate requirement for all countries being visited/transited during travel.
