Planning your next international trip? If your destination includes Africa, South America, or other regions where Yellow Fever is a risk, you may need a Yellow Fever vaccine. This vaccine not only protects you from serious illness but is also a requirement for entry into many countries.
CityMed Pharmacy in White Rock and Surrey is now officially recognized as a PHAC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (YFVC). That means we are fully authorized to provide the vaccine and issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP)—also called the “yellow card.”
