An International Certificate of vaccination against yellow fever will be supplied, after vaccination,
at the Centre at which the vaccination is done.
The International forms for smallpox and cholera (for completion by the person's own doctor)
must be obtained by the traveller himself and taken to the doctor; it is NOT for the doctor, or a
Local Authority, or the Medical Officer of Health, to supply them. The forms can usually be
obtained by the traveller from the Company arranging his transport, or he can get them from the
Ministry of Health, Savile Row, London, W.1.
After completion by the Vaccinator, certificates must be franked with an approved stamp for
the purpose of verifying the signature of the vaccinator.
Approved stamps have been prescribed for the United Kingdom. If the Vaccinator is not himself
an authorised user of a stamp, the person vaccinated must take or send the certificate for
stamping to the Local Authority in whose area the Vaccinator practices. In England and Wales this
is the Town Council, Urban District Council or Rural District Council. It should be noted that this
is not necessarily the area in which the person vaccinated lives.
During the year, 1,652 International Certificates of Vaccination were stamped by the Public
Health Department.
