Do I Need a Yellow Fever Vaccine for India?
Yes, if you are arriving from a Yellow Fever endemic country (mostly parts of Africa and South America), India requires a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate. Travellers from non-endemic countries do not need it. Carry the original certificate — it is checked at entry from listed countries.
