As a CDC-verified yellow fever vaccination center, Atlas Infectious Disease Practice provides expert pre-travel consultations and the official ICVP Yellow Card required for international travel.
Yellow fever is a serious viral disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes, primarily found in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa and South America. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccination is the most important preventive measure against yellow fever. The disease can range from a mild, flu-like illness to a severe, life-threatening condition involving high fever, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), bleeding, and organ failure.
For travelers, the risk is real, and many countries require proof of vaccination for entry. This proof is documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), commonly known as the "yellow card." A single dose of the yellow fever vaccine provides lifelong protection for most people, with immunity developing within 10 days. As one of the few CDC-authorized vaccination centers in Florida, Atlas IDP is certified to administer the vaccine and provide this essential travel document.
Your travel plans and health history are personal. At Atlas IDP, we guarantee complete confidentiality for all pre-travel health consultations and services, ensuring your privacy is protected at every step of your care.
Led by Dr. Joseph Etienne, MD FACP, a board-certified infectious disease specialist, the Atlas IDP team offers a level of expertise in travel medicine that general clinics and pharmacies cannot match. Our five board-certified physicians provide comprehensive pre-travel risk assessments, ensuring you receive personalized advice and the precise vaccinations needed for your specific itinerary.
Unlike a pharmacy or walk-in clinic, our specialists understand the complex interplay between your health history, your destination's disease landscape, and the medications you may already be taking. We proudly serve Atlantis, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Lantana, Wellington, and Delray Beach.
