Press Release Body: As per the information available on WHO's (World Health
Organisation) website, the cases of Yellow Fever has risen and even more and more
countries are reporting such cases as number of Mosquito habitats are increasing. It
has been found that there is still a large unvaccinated population in both Africa
and the Americas. This viral presence can amplify into regular epidemics.

Hence, Vaccinations is the single most important measure for preventing yellow
fever. Yellow fever vaccine is safe and highly effective. The effect of immunity
against Yellow Fever occurs within one week of 95% of people who have undergone
vaccination. Vaccination provides protection for more than 10 years and probably for
life.

As per WHO's website, the risk to life from Yellow Fever is far greater than the
risk from the vaccine, so those who may be exposed to yellow fever should be
protected by vaccinations. If there is no risk of exposure, for example, if a person
will not be visiting an endemic area, there is no necessity to receive the
vaccination. The World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends routine
childhood Vaccinations.

Travellers visiting to high-risk areas are highly recommended for Vaccinations.
There are many countries who ask for a vaccination certificate to allow entry to
their countries, particularly for travellers arriving in Asia from Africa or South
America as fatal cases in unvaccinated tourists have been reported.
