When to see a doctor

Before travel

Four weeks or more before your trip, make an appointment to see your doctor if you're traveling to an area in which yellow fever is known to occur so that you discuss whether you need the yellow fever vaccine.


If you have less than four weeks to prepare, call your doctor anyway. Ideally, you'll be able to be vaccinated at least three to four weeks before traveling to an area where yellow fever occurs to give the vaccine time to work.

Your doctor will help you determine whether you need vaccinations and can provide general guidance on protecting your health while abroad.


After travel

Seek emergency medical care if you've recently traveled to a region where yellow fever is known to occur and you develop signs or symptoms of the toxic phase of the disease.
Call your doctor if you develop mild symptoms, after traveling to a region where yellow fever occurs.
