Why is yellow fever vaccination important?

Yellow fever is a serious viral disease spread by mosquitoes. In severe cases, it can cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin), organ failure, and even death. Because of this risk, yellow fever is a quarantinable disease in Australia. Many countries require proof of vaccination for entry. Without a valid certificate, you may be refused entry or asked to be vaccinated on arrival.
