Notice: Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres - Annual Return (1 January - 31 December 2025)

Information about the Annual Return for Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (YFVCs) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland

• This Annual Return will open week ending 20 March 2026

All Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (YFVCs), who remained designated during 2025, are reminded that an Annual Return must be submitted each year.

Centres who withdrew during 2025 are not required to submit this return but are asked for some information relating to YF vaccine use separately, as part of the withdrawal process.

You can prepare for your 2025 Annual Return by making sure you have access to the following information:

• Your YFVC identifying number and postcode
• The number of YF vaccines given, according to age
• The number of reinforcing (booster) doses of YF vaccine given and the reason for each reinforcing dose
• The number of staff who administered YF vaccines
• The training status of health professionals who carried out YF risk assessments and/or administered YF vaccine
• The number of YF vaccines given when there was a precaution or contraindication to YF vaccination
• The number and details of serious adverse events following YF vaccination
• The number of Medical Letters of Exemption issued and reason for each exemption
• How your YFVC ensured best practice in YF vaccination

Most of the questions stay the same each year, but in some years there may be fewer or additional questions.*

YFVCs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are required under the Conditions of Designation for YFVC to submit an Annual Return each year. Failure to submit may result in suspension or de-designation of the YFVC.

The Annual Return for 2025 will open the week ending 20nd March 2026. Please watch the website for further details.

Thank you for your co-operation.

*Please note that the 2025 Annual Return will contain some optional questions that are not specific to YF vaccination services. Your answers will help us to understand how we can better support you in practice
