Travel Health is an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving specialty. Not only are new diseases emerging but existing diseases are evolving, while travellers are visiting further afield and undertaking increasingly adventurous activities. While many people focus on vaccinations prior to travel, most (> 95%) travel-associated illness and/or injury cannot be prevented through vaccination (Behrens and Carroll 2012).

Yellow Fever
The administration of the Yellow Fever Vaccine is internationally regulated by The World Health Organisation (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR). The yellow fever vaccine can only be administered at centres that have been designated by the national health administration (NATHNAC for Northern Ireland). Designated centres ensure the quality and safety of the procedures and materials used.
Proof of Yellow Fever vaccination (International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis – ICVP) is most often required for travellers journeying from countries with yellow fever to countries where transmission could occur (and sometimes for travellers transiting through such countries).
