International Certificate of Vaccination qInternational Certificate of Vaccination

The International Certificate of Vaccination is approved by the World Health Organization as the official document verifying that proper procedures were followed in administering vaccinations for foreign travel. It is used to demonstrate receipt of required vaccinations for entry into foreign countries, and is designed to fit into a passport.

In addition, the International Certificate of Vaccination is used to record the following information:

• Date and dose of all vaccinations received for foreign travel
• Medical exemption from receipt of required vaccinations
• Personal health history
• Drug allergies
• Current medications
• Prescriptions for eyeglasses or contact lenses

All travelers attending our clinic are issued an International Certificate of Vaccination at their first visit, and it is updated at subsequent visits to ensure that unnecessary vaccinations are not given. If you wish to receive vaccinations for international travel, please call us for a clinic appointment.
