Vaccination requirements for travel
The quarantine requirements for yellow fever vaccination for
international travel depend on the countries to be visited.
Travellers should check with their travel agent, a travel health
clinic, or the government representative in Australia of the
countries in Africa or South America they intend to visit to obtain
this information. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website
has a guide to diplomatic representation by foreign governments in
Canberra with their contact details.
Many countries, particularly those in Asia, will refuse permission to
enter to any person who has recently been in a yellow fever infected
country and who does not possess a valid yellow fever vaccination
certificate. Some countries will only allow unvaccinated persons to
enter if they agree to be vaccinated at their border. In this
situation, you may not be able to ensure the sterility of the items
used to administer the vaccine.
Yellow Fever is a quarantinable disease in Australia. Australia
requires any person over one year of age to hold an international
yellow fever vaccination certificate if, within the six days prior to
their arrival in Australia, they have stayed overnight or longer in a
declared yellow fever infected country in Africa or South America
(see yellow fever declared places list above). This information only
concerns Australian quarantine requirements. Travellers should seek
medical advice on vaccination needs for their individual medical
circumstances, particularly regarding the suitability of yellow fever
vaccine for infants and pregnant women.
Australian travellers who do not receive the approved yellow fever
vaccine from an approved vaccination centre in Australia risk being
refused permission to enter many countries, or being required to
accept the vaccine in a potentially unsafe manner.
Persons arriving in Australia who are required to possess a yellow
fever vaccination certificate but do not, will be interviewed on
their arrival by officers from the Australian Quarantine Inspection
Service (AQIS). AQIS officers may only permit unvaccinated people to
enter Australia if they agree in writing to notify health authorities
if they develop any symptom of yellow fever infection in the six day
period following their departure from a declared yellow fever
infected place. Any person who is suspected or confirmed as having
yellow fever may be placed under quarantine and provided with
supportive treatment in a suitable medical facility.
If a traveller is unvaccinated and contracts yellow fever the
consequences can be serious and may result in death.
The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council also
publishes information in its Immunisation Handbook.

Vaccination Certificates
There are different types of yellow fever entry requirements. While
many countries have no requirements, others may require an
International Certificate of Vaccination from travellers:
* Coming from all countries to an infected or endemic zone
* Coming from countries or areas that lie in the endemic zone
* Coming from infected countries or infected areas
* Coming from countries that are maintained on a list and
regarded as infected although some may not actually be infected, nor
even lie in the endemic zone
