Doctors who wish to administer Yellow Fever Vaccine have to seek special permission from their State Government. There are regulations about how YF vaccine is given, how the certificates are signed etc. The YF vaccine can be quite dangerous in some persons and can even rarely cause death.

Ideally you want to consult someone who has a lot of experience with the vaccine so you get the right advice and information. You also need to wait at the centre after the vaccine, and you want to know that the Travel Medicine Centre has all the right equipment and knowledge to safely deal with any side effects.

The Travel Medicine Alliance (TMA) is a network of independent Travel Medicine clinics that have approval to administer the vaccine AND have demonstrated an extra commitment to Travel Medicine by undertaking ongoing extra study in the area of Travel Medicine.
