Yellow fever

Yellow fever is an infectious disease, prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions and is caused by a virus. The virus is transmitted by tropical mosquitoes. A vaccine for yellow fever is available. Whether this vaccine is recommended or mandatory for you depends on the destination(s) you plan to visit, the duration of your stay, and the country from which you are travelling. Certain countries require yellow fever vaccination for all incoming travellers arriving from a risk area. To understand what applies to your situation, we recommend scheduling an appointment with KLM Health Services for personalised travel advice.

Before embarking on your journey, it is crucial to check whether yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for you. There are not only countries where yellow fever vaccination is obligatory, but also countries that require proof of vaccination if you are travelling from or through a risk area.
