Update: Dengue-Fever Vaccination is available
After the market launch of the dengue fever vaccine Qdenga® in February 2023, the German Permanent Vaccination Commission (STIKO) is now issued a differentiated recommendation as a travel vaccination.

Certified Yellow Fever Vaccination Center / Yellow Fever Vaccination
We are a yellow fever vaccination center that has been certified by the regional council of Darmstadt in accordance with the WHO principles.
For travel to affected areas vaccination is advisable or mandatory. Tourists are affected by particularly severe forms. The vaccination leads to flu-like symptoms quite frequently (20% of all
cases).
The vaccination is currently valid for 10 years. It is documented in your international vaccination certificate and may only be performed by certified yellow fever vaccination centers. You have
to be able to present your vaccination certificate upon entry to the country that demands yellow fever vaccination.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us about an appointment for an individual consultation. Unfortunately, countries which demand yellow fever vaccination bear further
health risks!
Costs of Yellow Fever Vaccination / Costs of Vaccination and Payment Options
The costs for yellow fever vaccination (including the vaccine) amount to 120-130€. Travel medical advice and vaccinations can be paid cash or by EC card.
