High-risk area for yellow fever and malaria. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry to some countries. Consider hepatitis A, typhoid, and rabies vaccines depending on activities. Antimalarial medication is essential.
Lower malaria risk at altitude, but hepatitis A and typhoid remain concerns. Yellow fever vaccination recommended if travelling to lowland areas. Altitude sickness preparation advised for high-elevation destinations.
Generally lower disease risk. Hepatitis A and typhoid are still recommended for travellers visiting rural areas. Yellow fever is not typically required unless travelling from infected regions or visiting specific zones.
Moderate risk for mosquito-borne illnesses. Yellow fever vaccination may be required. Typhoid and hepatitis A recommended. The Qdenga® vaccine is now available in the UK via PGD for travelers aged 4 and older. It is a two-dose course (0 and 3 months) and is highly recommended for those visiting high-endemic areas like Brazil, regardless of previous infection. It may be considered following individual clinical assessment, in line with current UK PGD eligibility criteria.
Malaria transmission occurs in lowland rainforest areas below 2,500 metres, particularly the Amazon Basin. Risk varies significantly by country and region i.e, Brazil’s Amazon, parts of Venezuela, Colombia, and the Guyanas present higher risk than coastal or highland areas.
We prescribe appropriate antimalarial medication based on your specific destinations, duration of stay, and medical history. Preventative medication must be taken before, during, and after your trip. Combine medication with mosquito bite prevention using DEET repellent, long-sleeved clothing, and treated bed nets.
Book your travel clinic appointment 6-8 weeks before departure to allow time for multi-dose vaccines and building immunity. Some vaccinations, like yellow fever, require 10 days to become effective before providing full protection.

While Yellow Fever is ‘clinically recommended’ for the Amazon regions of Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, it is not an ‘entry requirement’ (mandatory) for travelers arriving directly from the UK. It is only mandatory if you are entering from an endemic country (e.g., traveling from Brazil into Bolivia). Some countries require proof of vaccination for entry. We provide WHO-approved yellow fever certificates valid for life.
Costs vary depending on your itinerary and vaccination history. Yellow fever costs £65, hepatitis A £50, and typhoid £35. Most travellers spend £150-£300 for comprehensive protection. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your consultation.
