Yellow fever is a serious infection, spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is not contagious among infected humans, & is most common in areas of high mosquito density.
If you are travelling to parts of sub-Saharan Africa, South America, Central America and Trinidad in the Caribbean, it is recommended that you have the yellow fever vaccination.
Harley Health Centre is committed to full pricing transparency. You will never encounter hidden fees, and any additional testing, treatments, or vaccinations will always be clearly explained and discussed with you beforehand.
