Health Ministry clarifies yellow fever entry requirements

Following the recent outbreak of Yellow Fever in Angola, several countries have imposed the requirements for vaccination against the disease for travel 10 days prior to arrival, including Guyana.

However, contrary to the pronouncements made by Minister Dr. George Norton on country specific entry requirements regarding the Yellow Fever virus, which was published in yesterday’s edition of the Stabroek News, the Ministry of Health has since issued a press statement clarifying the said requirements.
