Questions from Peniche, Óbidos and Caldas da Rainha
I am over 60. Can I still have the yellow fever vaccine?
Sometimes. It is a live vaccine and the risk of side effects rises after 60, so the doctor weighs it against the risk at your destination. If it is not advisable, an exemption certificate can be issued.
Is the Bombarral CVI open on Mondays?
No. Only Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:30 to 17:00, according to its published hours.
Do I need an SNS number (número de utente)?
Not for the online consultation, which is private. Some CVIs ask for it when you book the vaccine; if you do not have one yet, say so in your email.
Is the prescription accepted at the Oeste CVI – Bombarral?
Yes. It is a Portuguese prescription, valid at every International Vaccination Centre (CVI) in Portugal and at Portuguese pharmacies. Some CVIs ask you to bring a printed copy on the day.
How much is the yellow fever vaccine?
20 € at the CVI, paid separately from the consultation. The international certificate is issued there and becomes valid 10 days after the vaccine, for life.
