Yellow Fever Jab do I need it?
December 1, 2004
Another day another travel jab, today was to be the last of my inoculations. A double whammy to finish it off with typhoid and my final Hep B Jab ( typhoid is supposed to make you fell pretty dodgy) anyways it seems I may need Yellow Fever, it appears that even though i will not be at risk from Yellow Fever, it could cause trouble crossing borders in Mozambique without one,Border guards maybe tempted to bribe you if you dont have it, although im sure if they are going to try and bribe you they will do it anyway.
You need a yellow fever certificate if travelling from an infected country. Although I won’t be, still need to check with my doctor. The last thing you want is being refused access in my case to Malawi and having to drive a few thousand miles back to South Africa across Mozambique. I’m sure my travel companions would love me for that.
