International Certification of Vaccines

Seeyoulater2

We are going on the August 29 K-T. I have read through all the posts on vaccines, Visas. I haven’t seen anything about the International Certification of Vaccines, a yellow booklet used to document vaccines. We have copied our vaccine records from our on line medical records. Came across mention of this ICV in a tour book I was reading. We have traveled a lot and never used one.

We have these, they are not new, mine is dated from 2005. It isn’t really a booklet but a yellow folded card. We call it our Yellow fever card and it has all the other vaccines recorded on it and when we had them and where etc. this is what we carry on any trips abroad and is proof of our Yellow fever vaccine, it has the official stamp in it. Isn’t this what you get when you get the Yellow fever vaccine these days. I just read a link for the WHO about a change since 2007 which I will post the link shortly.

This Canada example came up on google too. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/travel-health/yellow-fever/procedures/recommendations-completing-international-certificate-vaccination-prophylaxis-poliovirus-vaccination.html

And this one from Passport Health which mentions the Yellow Fever vaccine and the InternTional certificate vaccination prophylaxis Yellow card

I’m sure they have made some changes, but I first got that yellow card in 1970, and it had yellow fever in it, but I tossed it decades later thinking everything in it had expired. So I got another yellow fever shot, and a new yellow card.

I was issued my first certificate in 1968- I kept it. In 2015 when we went to get our K&T immunizations (at the local Navy clinic- I'm retired USN) the corpsman gave us new certificates to which he transferred my old, but still applicable, and added the new inoculations.
