Yellow Fever Vaccine for Scarborough — Do You Need It?
The Yellow Fever vaccine and the International Certificate of Vaccination and Prophylaxis (ICVP) — the official “yellow card” required for entry to certain countries in Africa and South America — are given only at Government of Canada designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres. The Virtual Travel Clinic is not a designated centre: our physician assesses by video whether your itinerary needs the vaccine and refers you to a designated centre from the Public Health Agency of Canada list. The certificate is valid for life (WHO 2016 guidelines).
