If you are a student or post-doc at UNC Chapel Hill, please make an appointment with our International Travel Clinic.
If you are not a student or post doc at UNC Chapel Hill, please submit a completed Yellow Fever Vaccine Questionnaire. This questionnaire helps us determine if you meet the criteria to receive Yellow Fever Vaccine. You may submit this questionnaire via fax, in person at Campus Health Pharmacy in the basement of UNC Campus Health, or via email to [email protected]. A $25 yellow fever vaccine assessment charge will be billed to you upon submission of this questionnaire. This charge is in addition to the $200 charge for the yellow fever vaccine. You will indicate on this form your preferred time slots for an appointment. A travel health provider will review the questionnaire and contact you regarding whether you are eligible to receive the vaccine, and you will receive an appointment time.
What will happen when I come in for an appointment?
After you check in at the front desk, you will go to the Immunization Clinic on the first floor of Campus Health. The immunization nurse will give the Yellow Fever Vaccine.
How will I park at Campus Health?
A parking permit and map will be sent to you when we send you the time and date for your immunization appointment.

What if I only need a Yellow Fever Card replaced?
If you need a yellow fever vaccine waiver, or if you need an ICVP (yellow card) reissued for a yellow fever vaccine that was not given by Campus Health, and you are not otherwise utilizing our travel clinic, there is a $20 charge. This charge is not billed to insurance and will be your responsibility to pay.
