Yellow Fever Vaccine in Great Barr
🦟 Yellow Fever Vaccine in Great Barr, Birmingham
Yellow fever is a serious viral infection spread by mosquitoes in parts of Africa, Central and South America. It can cause severe flu-like symptoms, organ failure, and even death. Many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination as a condition of entry — often referred to as the ‘Yellow Card’ or International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP).
At Beacon Pharmacy in Great Barr, we are a certified Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, offering quick, safe, and convenient appointments — ideal for travellers who need to meet entry requirements or stay protected in high-risk regions.
