Yellow fever vaccine cost in the UK
Yellow fever vaccination must be given by a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre if you need an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.
Vaccine prices: not shown. NHS access read from nhs.uk on 2026-10-26.
Quick answer
The NHS website says yellow fever vaccination is not routinely available on the NHS and is only available at certain vaccination centres, so you pay the centre. TreatCompare does not track yellow fever prices. Ask the centre whether its quote includes the consultation and the certificate.
On the NHS
Not routinely available on the NHS; you pay (nhs.uk).
