Yellow Fever Card in Nigeria: How to Get it in 2019?

WHY THE NEW CARD?

The federal government has introduced E-Yellow card in order to stop touts from hawking and selling fake cards to passengers at international airports in the country. I personally have had my experience with touts at the Lagos international airport trying to sell fake yellow fever cards for N3k.
