Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirements from India

October 29, 2019
Here are some frequently asked questions about Yellow Fever Vaccinations (YFV) from
India:
Is yellow fever vaccination required?
All visitors travelling from India to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, Mali, Ghana and
Ethiopia are required to be vaccinated against yellow fever with an international certificate
proving so.
While there is no health check on departure from India, you will be checked upon your return.
Thus, it is mandatory to be in possession of a valid international vaccination certificate of yellow
fever before your departure. This certificate must be issued from an approved vaccination
center.
Visitors travelling directly from India to South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia or Zimbabwe do NOT
need a yellow fever vaccination. However, any person entering these countries from an infected
area or having been in transit through infected areas must be in possession of a valid
International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever.
The full list of Yellow Fever endemic countries:
Africa: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi,

Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo,
Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of
Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon,
Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya,
Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, South Sudan,
Togo, and Uganda.
South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guyana, Guyana, Panama,
Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.

endemic area and must be administered at an approved yellow fever vaccination center.
What documents are required?

To get an valid certification of yellow fever vaccination, you are required to bring your original
passport and your international travel tickets. It is also recommended to have Rs 300 in change

What time should I show up for the vaccination?

Most public health centres open at 9 am, Monday – Friday. However, there is a limited quota of
vaccinations issued everyday (less than 100 usually). Thus, it is recommended to show up earlier
in order to be ahead in the line.
How long is the yellow fever vaccine valid for?

The yellow fever vaccination certificate is valid for ten years, a er which a booster shot is
recommended.
Can I be exempted from producing a vaccination certificate?

I had vaccination against yellow fever from IIC New Delhi on 10 March,2006. Now I again want to
go to African Country Eritrea for job . Do I require vaccination again. If not can I submit the
photocopy of that certificate as a proof as the original certificate was submit for visa in 2006.
Kindly guide.

Hello Dr Angiras,
The Yellow Fever Vaccination is valid for 10 years. Since you were vaccinated in 2006, your
certificate would still be valid. However, since you don’t have the original certificate and only
a photocopy, this can pose to be a problem. You may be stopped on your re-entry to India.
We recommend that you get a new vaccination certificate before you leave for Eritrea.
Fortunately, the vaccine is now easily available and you can get it at the above centres.
Hope this helped!

What about the people above the age of 65 yrs who are being refused vaccinations in
India? How can they travel to Kenya as Kenyan authorities will certainly stop them?

Hi Yeshwant, on what grounds are they being refused? In our experience, the
medical o icers usually check your health and then do give the vaccination even if
you are a senior citizen.

Kenyan Authorities have no right to stop for yellow fever. You will be stopped on
returning to India or to a non endemic contry. Even in India They will let you go a er
keeping you in Quarantine for 5 days.

I have submitted my passport in Brazilian Embassy.

Can I get yellow fever vaccination on the basis of scanned copy of passport and Itinerary.
Original vaccination certificate may be produced when I show you my original passport.
or any other possibility that you can suggest me so that I can travel to brazil within few days of
my VISA receiving.
Hopefully I will get my visa at end of next week.and I wants to fly on 11th .
Any suggestion from your side will be highly appreciable.
Waiting for your response
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anil, Unfortunately, a scanned copy of your passport will not do. You need your original
passport when you go to the vaccination center. As a suggestion, you can request the
Brazilian Embassy to issue your visa as soon as possible so that you can receive the
vaccination in time for your travel.

Hi Kathrotia B. G., The Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate becomes valid 10 days a er
vaccination and lasts for 10 years. So you do not need to get re-vaccinated if you plan to
travel before June 2015. Please make sure you have your original vaccination certificate and
not a photocopy.

I am working in Tata Consultancy Services. I was not told by Delhi Travel team to do this
vaccination when I was in India. I came here in Chile on 18 Oct,13 via Amsterdam-Panama City.
Now, please clarify do I have to do the vaccination here in Chile,before I return to India for
vaccation,or it depends on the flight routes I take to India(Sou Paola,Beones aires,Doha,South
africa etc). Please explain in detail. Thanks.

Hi Rahul, You do not need the vaccination if you travelled only to Chile. Panama, on the
other hand is a yellow fever endemic country and India requires the yellow fever vaccination
certificate upon re-entry. Please see this document by the Ministry of Health, which states:
“All the International travelers arriving in India within 6 days of departure from any yellow
fever endemic country are required to possess (in original) a valid yellow fever certificate of
vaccination or prophylaxis as per the model released by WHO from a Yellow fever
vaccination centre designated by the country. ”

Hi Francis, While there have been reports that a booster shot is no longer necessary
(according to WHO
(http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2013/yellow_fever_20130517/en/)), we
still recommend getting your certificate renewed before re-entering India. You can this done
from any country issuing a valid international vaccination certificate of yellow fever. Just
ensure that there is at least a 10-day gap between renewing the certificate and re-entering
India.

Hi Anuja, it is recommended to get the YF vaccination even if you are transiting through a
yellow fever endemic country. However, since you say your parents are elderly, they can get
a medical waiver (Travellers over the age of 60 years). From http://doh.gov.za/
(http://web.archive.org/web/20130126044926/http://doh.gov.za/docs/guidelines/2013/Yello
w_Fever_guidelines.pdf): Individuals who, for medical reasons should not have a yellow
fever vaccine, should be in possession of a letter from their travel physician. The waiver
letter should state that the yellow fever vaccine is contra-indicated in the traveller based on
medical grounds. The waiver
letter should be written on the letterhead stationery of the clinic and contain the signature
of the physician and stamp used to validate the International Certificate of Vaccination. In
Mumbai, APHO, Mumbai Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday &

At the same time, we did notice this caution on the FAQs page of TravelSafe website: “Q:
How can I be sure that the vaccination taken from you would be accepted by my embassy /
immigration etc.?”
“A: We have been providing Yellow Fever Vaccine since 2005, and thousands of clients have
successfully taken the vaccination and traveled to di erent countries. In fact, a lot of our
present business is by word of mouth publicity from past vaccine takers. However, we do
NOT guarantee that you will not face any problems at embassy / immigration, since we

Hence, Chalo Africa recommend only government authorized centres.

This is a wonderful source of accurate information regarding Yellow Fever vaccination. I really

We are an ISO certified ISTM approved travel health specialist group of doctors. We are approved
by Sanofi Pasteur, the manufacturers of Yellow Fever Vaccine – STAMARIL – the only French
vaccine brand available in private sector in India. The International certificate of vaccination is
directly sourced from WHO and is as per IHR 2005 guidelines. We have been providing Yellow
Fever Vaccinations (& other travel vaccines & travel health information) since 2005 and have
provided more than 10,000 doses without any problems to any traveler to African & South
American countries.
While government centers are certainly cheaper, the hassle of standing in lines, and generally
rude sta and use of a chinese / russian generic medicine that is used to inject 5 – 10 people
from a single vial are some of the reasons thousands of people have come to our centers in
these 3 locations,

10 days before departure. That, I suppose, is because the vaccine takes e ect a er 10 days. Will

Hi, there are places in Pune to get yellow fever vaccinations but they aren’t mentioned in your
list of centres. Can i still get it from those clinics?
If not can you tell me the closest vaccination centre in Pune?
Reply
The Chalo Team says

Hi Janhavi, The list above is of govt-approved centres. Private clinics also give the vaccine,
however there is no guarantee that these certificates will held valid by immigration o icials.
According to the Ministry of Health Advisory, the nearest govt. approved vaccination centre
is Mumbai. There were reports that a new centre would be opened at B J Medical College,
Pune, soon. Please call and confirm.

Hi Seshank, You need to get the vaccination at least 10 days before travelling for the vaccine
to take e ect. If you take the vaccine asap and return to India a er 10 days, there is a chance
Indian immigration o icials will not bother you. However, there is no guarantee.

Are yellow fever vaccination certificates issued by Travel Safe Clinic, Chembur ACCEPTED by

Hi Carlos, Chalo Africa only recommends government authorized YF centres (as mentioned
in the list above). However, please read the comment le below by Dr Gaurav Gupta, MD of
TravelSafe Clinics, to know more about TravelSafe accreditations.
At the same time, we did notice this caution on the FAQs page of TravelSafe website: “Q:
How can I be sure that the vaccination taken from you would be accepted by my embassy /
immigration etc.?”
“A: We have been providing Yellow Fever Vaccine since 2005, and thousands of clients have
successfully taken the vaccination and traveled to di erent countries. In fact, a lot of our
present business is by word of mouth publicity from past vaccine takers. However, we do
NOT guarantee that you will not face any problems at embassy / immigration, since we are
unable to interact with these authorities. Our certificates are displayed on our website, and
we would be happy to show you the originals, if asked nicely :)”
Hence, Chalo Africa recommend only government authorized centres.

Hi Sumit, According to WHO “A single dose of yellow fever vaccine is su icient to

confer sustained immunity and life-long protection against yellow fever disease and
a booster dose of yellow fever vaccine is not needed.” However, the Indian Ministry
of Health still recommends revaccination every ten years. Generally, the dangers
associated with being revaccinated are much lower than the first time you were
vaccinated. If you get vaccinated before the completion of the ten year period, your
certificate will be valid immediately for 10 years. If you get vaccinated a er the
completion of 10 years, you will have to wait 10 days before your certificate
becomes valid. The certificate itself will carry information regarding vaccination
date, manufacturer and batch number. Nonetheless, we still recomend that you
verify with your doctor or with the doctor at the vaccination center that this is safe.

Hi
I am planning to travel Brazil from London on 17th Aug. I would be taking Yellow Fever
vaccination on 14th. I am scheduled to come back to London on 24th and fly to India on 25th. I
have 2 questions.
Is the YF vaccination certificate issued in London is valid for India and would qualify for me to
enter India
As I would fall in the clause of visiting YF country in the last 6 days, should I take any any
additional care while entering India or should I postpone my visit.

Hi MM,
1. A valid international vaccination certificate of yellow fever issued anywhere in the world
would be accepted in India.
2. It is recommended that you take the vaccination 10 days before your arrival in a YF
endemic country. However, Indian immigration o icials will most likely check that your YF
vaccination was issued at least 10 days prior to your arrival in India, which in your case is
true.

(b) Is there is any e ect for vaccination with in a day a er taking the vaccination.

Hi Benn,
To answer your questions:

(a) I’m not sure if they have the right to hold you back, but I know for sure that it is definitely
better to have get the vaccination before entering India. A friend of mine was held in
quarantine in Delhi for a week upon return from Brazil (because he hadn’t taken the
vaccination). It was not a happy experience.
(b) Mild side-e ects are possible, slight fever, etc. But nothing alarming in most instances.
(c) Not sure.

(c) What is the clear rule on this ? Where I can get this information. ? Clear rule is that you
need to get the vaccination 10 days before going to a country with YF. You can read more

Hi Satyam, You will probably need an air ticket, unless you do the vaccination privately. Most
government centers ask for a ticket before dispensing the vaccination.

Hi Team,

apply for visa?

Hi Krutika — yes, you can get the vaccination with your international tickets + passport.
Make sure you also get Oral Polio Vaccinations.

Hello
I am travelling to Ethiopia. Can I get the vaccination done by a major hospital in my city rather
getting it from an authorized hospital?
Please help!!

We always recommend authorized hospitals. You need to ensure that you have a WHO-

Hi
2 years back I travelled to Tanzania nd I hv my yellow card also bt now I got a new passport nd I
m planning for south Korea on my new passport . Pls tell me how can I update my new passport
details on the yellow card? Is there any problem traveling Korea like this?
Thanks

Tio the best of our knowledge, you do not require a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate to
travel to S. Korea. Nonetheless, your certificate will be valid if you carry both your passports.

2. Do I have to give the immigration at airport the original certificate? If I give them original
certificate how come I have a proof for my future travel?
3. Do I need to take another certification before I come back to India? While I have already done
so in India?
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajeev, 1) Yes, usually they ask to see your flight tickets before giving you the vaccination.
2) No, you do not have to give the original certificate anywhere. They will just look at it. 3)
The same certificate will be valid for your return to India.

Hello,
My Wife is a Singaporean travelling from Singapore to Kenya via Mumbai airport (transit) and
returning again via Mumbai (transit only) to Singapore.
The government approved vaccination center issued her with a Medical Waiver Letter for the
Yellow Fever Vaccine – as she is on certain regular medications which put her at high risk if she is
given the vaccination.
I have got confirmation from Kenya embassy in Singapore that she will be able to enter Kenya
with this letter. I also have confirmation that she can re-enter Singapore with this letter.
However I read on the Indian Government Site that while a person arriving in India from Kenya
can be exempt from producing the Vaccination certificate, they will not be exempt from
quarantine for 6 days!! It is not clear if this applies only to people actually entering India OR only
also to people just transiting through the airport.
I’m worried she might get held up for 6 days in a Mumbai airport quarantine. Could you clarify
whether she can transit freely without worry or not please ! ( we are travelling in end September
so we need to know to decide course of action)

Dear Sir / madam,
I need information about yellow fever vaccination.

According to World Health Organization Existing and new Yellow Fever vaccination certificates
are now valid for life. The World Health Organization announced that as of 11 July 2016,
countries can no longer require travelers to show proof of re-vaccination or a booster dose as a
condition of entry.
I also read on the website of MINISTRY OF HEALTH & FAMILY WELFARE of India that the above
mentioned is also approved by this ministry.
Here are the links on which I received this information:
https://mohfw.gov.in/yellow-fever (https://mohfw.gov.in/yellow-fever)
http://ihrpoe.co.in/pdf/YF_Booster.pdf (http://ihrpoe.co.in/pdf/YF_Booster.pdf)
Is this new regulation honored by the border authorities of India during the transition phase?
I was vaccinated against yellow fever in 2002, do I still need a re-vaccination or a booster dose
for entry?
I thank you in advance for your willing cooperation.
Kind regards,
