Travellers should seek medical advice on vaccination for their individual medical circumstances, particularly about the suitability of yellow fever vaccine for infants, pregnant women and those who are immunocompromised.
Further information on yellow fever for professionals and travellers can be found in the Australian Government's Yellow Fever fact sheet (external site).
Becoming an approved yellow fever vaccination provider
A provider seeking to prescribe the yellow fever vaccine at an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre is required to successfully complete the online Yellow Fever Vaccination Course (external site), and subsequently every three years. Once accredited, a provider can administer the yellow fever vaccine for a period of not more than three years from the date of completion of the training course.
The course completion certificate is required by the approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre where the provider intends to practice.
