Official Yellow Fever vaccination centers are usually located in government-approved hospitals, travel clinics, major public health departments, and designated international vaccination centers. These clinics are specially authorized to give the vaccine and issue the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP)—often called the “yellow card.” Many countries require this certificate for entry if you are coming from or transiting through a Yellow Fever–risk zone. After getting the shot, the certificate becomes valid after 10 days, which means you must complete the vaccine at least 10 days before traveling. Once valid, the certificate is lifelong, and no booster is required for most travelers.

You can find these centers at major hospitals, airport health organizations, or travel clinics that are officially approved by health authorities.

Yellow Fever vaccinations are administered at government-authorized centers, which include international travel clinics, designated public health institutions, and port health offices at airports or seaports. These centers are typically recognized by national health authorities to ensure the vaccine is properly administered. After receiving the vaccine, travelers are issued the "International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis" (commonly known as the "Yellow Card"), which serves as proof of vaccination. This certificate becomes valid 10 days after the vaccination and is required for entry to certain countries that have Yellow Fever as a health risk. Once valid, the Yellow Card is typically accepted for life, with no need for booster shots unless specified by certain high-risk health conditions.
