The illness is endemic (always present) in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America. It occurs in jungle and urban settings and is most common during the rainy season. 

The yellow fever vaccine is a relatively safe and highly effective single-dose vaccine which provides life long immunity.The vaccination should be completed a minimum of ten days before entering the at risk destination. Yellow Fever vaccination is recommended for travel within all endemic areas and a yellow fever vaccination certificate may also be needed to enter certain countries, including Australia, after leaving such countries.
