Vaccination Appointment for International Travelers (VAIT)

Yellow Fever Vaccination is given only between 10 am and 4 pm everyday. Mail a copy of your passport to info@hopehospital.com before your appointment date.

Yellow fever :
·      Mandatory vaccination against yellow fever is carried out to prevent the importation of yellow fever virus into vulnerable countries. These are countries where yellow fever does not occur but where the mosquito vector and non-human primate hosts are present. Importation of the virus by an infected traveller could potentially lead to the establishment of infection in mosquitoes and primates, with a consequent risk of infection for the local population. In such cases, vaccination is an entry requirement for all travellers arriving from countries, including airport transit, where there is a risk of yellow fever transmission. If yellow fever vaccination is contraindicated for medical reasons, a medical certificate is required for exemption.
·      The International Certificate of vaccination or revaccination against Yellow fever is valid only if the vaccine used has been approved by the World Health Organization
·      The validity of this certificate shall extend for period of ten years, beginning ten days after the date of vaccination or, in the event of a revaccination within such period of ten years, from the date of that revaccination.
·        This certificate must be signed by in his own hand by a Medical practitioner or other person authorized by the National Health Administration; his official stamp is not an accepted substitute for his signature.
·        Any amendment of this certificate, or erasure, or failure to complete any part of it, may render it invalid.

  • Yellow fever is a life-threatening viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes in parts of Africa and South America. In urban areas, yellow fever is primarily a disease of humans and is transmitted from person to person by Aedes mosquitoes, which breed in man-made water containers, such as jars, barrels, cisterns, and discarded tires. Because Aedes mosquitoes proliferate in densely populated areas, large outbreaks may occur. However, except during epidemics, yellow fever is rare in urban settings.

  • In the jungle, yellow fever is mainly a disease of non-human primates and is transmitted by a variety of mosquito species. Human cases occur sporadically, chiefly among those who work in the jungle, such as loggers. In the humid or semi-humid savannahs of Africa, an intermediate situation exists, wherein both monkeys and humans are infected and the disease occurs in many small villages simultaneously, but not at the levels seen in urban epidemics. This has been the pattern for most yellow fever outbreaks reported in recent years.

  • The incubation period ranges from three to six days. Initial symptoms may include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, backache, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, which usually subside in three or four days. However, after initial improvement, approximately one person in six enters a second, toxic phase characterized by recurrent fever, vomiting, listlessness, jaundice, kidney failure, and hemorrhage, leading to death in up to half of the cases. There is no treatment except for supportive care.

  • Yellow fever vaccine should be given at least ten days prior to arriving in a yellow-fever-endemic area and must be administered at an approved yellow fever vaccination center, which gives each vaccinee a fully validated International Certificate of Vaccination. The vaccine is given as a single 0.5 cc subcutaneous injection. A booster dose is recommended every 10 years for those who remain at risk. Reactions to the vaccine, which are generally mild, may include headaches, muscle aches, low-grade fevers, or discomfort at the injection site. Severe allergic reactions to yellow fever vaccine are uncommon and occur principally in those allergic to eggs.

  • Rarely, yellow fever vaccine may lead to multiple organ system failure, similar to yellow fever caused by wild-type virus, or to neurologic illness. A recent report indicates that those with a history of thymus disease or thymectomy are at highest risk for developing multiple organ system failure and should not be given yellow fever vaccine . Limited data also suggest that serious adverse reactions occur more commonly among the elderly and among those receiving yellow fever vaccine for the first time.

  • Because yellow fever vaccine contains live virus, it should not in general be given to children under 9 months of age, pregnant women, and immunosuppressed individuals, such as those with AIDS or cancer patients receiving immunosuppressive medications. These individuals should avoid traveling to areas where yellow fever is actively transmitted. Physicians considering yellow fever vaccine for pregnant women or infants between the ages of six and nine months because of special circumstances should contact the Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases.
The Carte Jaune or Yellow Card is an international certificate of vaccination (ICV). It is issued by the World Health Organization. It is recognised internationally and may be required for entry to certain countries where there are increased health risks for travellers.

How much does it cost to get a yellow fever vaccine?
The total cost typically ranges from $150 to $350. For example, at the travel clinic operated by the San Francisco Department of Public Health , an initial consultation is $39, and the yellow fever vaccination costs $110, with no shot administration fee, for a total of $149.

27 July 2017, Nagpur

The Indian government has urgently procured yellow fever vaccine from multinational companies after a severe shortage resulting in people being unable to travel to African and some South American countries.

Visas to Africa and tropical and sub-tropical South American countries can be obtained only after the applicant submits a certificate given by one of the country's  authorised vaccination centres.


"There was a shortage, but the government has imported the vaccine from multinational companies like Sanofi Pasteur and the stock has arrived on July 11," Director General of Health Services admitted to IANS.


Yashpal Jain, a businessman who is scheduled to travel to Zambia and has been running from pillar to post to get the vaccine said: "There are four centres in Delhi and all of them have run out of the vaccine. I will wait for another 10 days and then try again."

Another group of people who have been hit are vacationers. Lalit Sharma, who had planned a summer holiday in South America, said: "There has been a severe shortage across the country. I have not been able to get the vaccine shot and hence have postponed the trip."

Yellow fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease. It is transmitted by the bite of the Aedes aegypti female mosquito and is found in tropical and subtropical areas in South America and in all of Africa, but not in Asia.

Apart from being important for personal protection, yellow fever vaccination and its proof is a condition of entry in many countries, especially for travellers who have recently arrived from a country in a yellow fever zone.

Failure to take the vaccination may get one past immigration, but would certainly mean quarantine for 10 days on return in a government hospital, experts said.

Thinning cartilage contributes to   osteoarthritis , also known as degenerative   arthritis , a painful and often debilitating condition. Over time, arthritic joints can become so sore and inflamed that they need to be replaced with mechanical substitutes. A result: more pain, at least in the short

Revolutionising Cosmetic Surgery

The demand for advanced skin rejuvenation techniques has given a fresh facelift to dermatological healthcare Laser Hair Removal As cosmetic dermatologists, we are constantly bombarded with new products and technological devices with claims of greatness. It is important to evaluate each of these products individually, including scientific studies if available, with clinical trial results before incorporating them into ones practice. In recent years, many new treatments have revolutionised the practice of dermatology. Following are the top three trends which in my opinion have made a huge impact in dermatological healthcare. The use of lasers and light sources for long-term hair reduction is one of the most popular technologies that has impacted cosmetic dermatological practice today.
