Can other vaccinations be recorded on the International Certificate of Vaccination and Prophylaxis?
Yellow fever is currently the only disease specifically designated under IHR (2005) for which proof of vaccination may be required as a condition of entry. When administering this vaccine, the clinician must write ‘yellow fever’ in the space provided on the certificate (see illustration above). The certificate pages should not be used for other diseases (e.g. meningococcal disease or polio) for which some countries have requirements. However, there is space on subsequent pages in the new certificate in which to record other vaccines separately. Please see link to sample ICVP (281KB PDF).
