You need this certificate to enter the USA and other countries if you have a layover or change planes in a country that has yellow fever disease in it. 

* Some people may not want the yellow fever vaccine due to ther addvanced age : Ask yourseft what happens to me if I get the Yellow fever Disease while I am Traveling. and I heard 1 Yellow Fever
shot last a lifetime. Research has shown that the protection from the vaccine start declining after 10
years that is why we give a booster every 10 years.
The literature may say a liftime but many countries will not let you enter if you dont have documentation that your yellow Fever shot is not up to date

*There are some illnesses that you cannot get the yellow fever vaccine with. We can write a letter of exemption for you. The Country you are visiting will accept this exemption letter along with a Certificate of vaccination which includes offical vaccination stamp from an authorized vaccine clinic .  

The office consultation fee include many services and we give the vaccines at the same time if you need them.

We write:

prescriptions for Malaria Medication: Malaria Kill 1 person every 30 seconds.

We write prescriptions for Diarrhea which affect many travelers

We write Prescriptions for altitude sickness which may affect patients traveling to Peru and other high elevations.

We advise on the proper sun screen for outdoor use.

We advise on the adequate use of the many different insect repellants to keep mosquitoes and other disease causing bugs away

We advise on the different ages that can recieve each vaccine . This is based on our experience as travel health professionals with 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to become a medical doctor
MD and 3 years of Internship /Residency. and an additional 36 years of vaccine experience with patients. Looking at the CDC website ,Google, and AI may be helpful but each person is an individual with their own health situation. You can call me 24 hours 
a day and speak to a physician can you do that with any of the sources listed above.

Measles Vaccine : 1 million people used to die from this disease before there was vaccine was a vaccine which helped decreace this death rate.  
Menningoccal  vaccine Is needed to visit Mecca 

Menningoccal vaccine is needed during certain times of the year to visit some areas of africa. 

Tetanus Vaccine: The number 1 reason traveling patients seek medical care overseas is due to automobile and bus accidents due to some of the driving habits and speeding. When taken to the hospital emergency patients are given a tetanus shot if they have not had a tetanus shotin the last 5 years or they cannot remember when their last tetanus shot was given. My advice Get a Shot here before you go. And keep all your vaccines up to date
here and everywhere you go. Please don't die from a preventable illness. Remember what your parents taught you . A stitch in time saves nine . This year in the USA more than 200 children died from the FLU
more than 60,000 adults died from the FLU and there were more than 1,000,000  1 million hospitalizations . Some very famous people as well as many others died from Pneumonia. We have vaccines for both of these deadly disease. Our motto
is "Vaccines your key to a health life". Thank you.I hope to see you soon or hear from you on my 24 hour vaccine hotline at 301 467-2487  

This is a private Doctors office .Vaccines including Flu shots are given in the privacy of our Examination room.
