Mozambique takes the following measures to prevent yellow fever:
All travellers entering Mozambique from any of the 43 countries where yellow fever has been diagnosed must present a valid certification of vaccination against the disease.
The decision has been taken jointly by the Ministry of Interior and Health. Any passenger who cannot present such a certificate at his or her point of entry will be vaccinated at the cost about 54 US dollars before entering Mozambique.
Yellow fever has been reported from 43 countries, mostly in Africa and Latin America.The list includes three countries SADC countries, namely Angola , the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania.
The authorities say that this list will be updated whenever new countries are identified with an outbreak of the disease.
The government says that because of the growing yellow fever infection rates in several countries, there is a risk of this potentially lethal disease being transmitted to Mozambique, hence the need for preventive measures.
