Yellow Fever Vaccine in Nepal
Yellow fever vaccine with official ICVP certificate in Kathmandu — the only vaccine legally required for entry to many African and South American countries, providing lifetime protection.
Why yellow fever vaccination matters
Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral hemorrhagic fever with no specific treatment — vaccination is highly effective prevention. More importantly, the vaccine is legally REQUIRED for entry to many countries and documented on the ICVP yellow card.
The 10-day validity rule
The yellow fever certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination — plan your travel so the certificate is active before you reach the border. One dose provides lifetime protection; no boosters needed.
Who needs it and when
Required for travel to endemic parts of Africa and South America. Also required BY some countries (including India) when arriving FROM endemic countries. Nepal is not endemic, so vaccination here is for outbound travelers.
