What is yellow fever
It is a viral disease that is transmitted through the bite of certain species of mosquitoes. It can be serious and lead to death. It has no treatment, but it can be prevented:
Through vaccination: provides protection from 10 days after application and lasts for life. Using repellents. Wearing long-sleeved, light-colored, uniform clothing. Placing mosquito nets in your home. Eliminating containers that can accumulate water in homes. Having mosquito nets, air conditioning and/or fan in the lodging place.
Information for travelers
Vaccination is recommended if the destination is an area with proven risk of yellow fever transmission. Those who do not present contraindications or precautions should receive the vaccine at least ten days before arriving at their destination.
Some countries request as a requirement to enter their territory the presentation of the international certificate.
It is remembered that it is an endemic disease in tropical areas of Africa and Latin America, so it is recommended to apply it if you travel to any of these destinations.
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), in the Americas, between 1985 and 2012, 95% of the cases were concentrated in 4 countries: Peru 54%, Bolivia 18%, Brazil 16% and Colombia 7%. respectively.
In the American continent, in addition, the countries that present conditions for the transmission of yellow fever are: Argentina, Ecuador, Guyana, French Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
