Distribution of International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis by Sanofi Pasteur MSD to Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (YFVCs)

With effect from 26 November 2007, Sanofi Pasteur MSD will provide an equivalent number of the new International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis with each order of yellow fever vaccine, to YFVCs within England and Wales.

YFVCs that require further supplies of certificates should contact the NHS Response Line on 0870 155 5455. Orders of more than 10 per month are reviewed by the NaTHNaC YFVC Service Manager for authorisation.

In preparation for using the new International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, all YFVCs are reminded that they need to change their official YFVC stamps in order to fit the new stamp requirements.

The new stamp guidelines are available to download here.

NaTHNaC have provided a list of frequently asked questions about the new certificates which can be viewed here.
