Yellow Card
Each client will receive an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICV). This card, often known as a ”Yellow Card”, is an officially signed certificate stating a traveler’s specific vaccinations and dates of vaccination. Certain countries in Africa and South America require a yellow fever vaccination and certificate for entry into the country. Also, Meningococcal is required for Saudi Arabia during Hajj and also highly recommended for certain countries. Our RN’s will also review to see if your tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis along with measles, mumps, and rubella, and influenza shots are current for a safe journey. All vaccinations completed at International Travel Care will be recorded on the ICV at the completion of the appointment. It is important for travelers to bring their ICV/Yellow Card with them during their international travels so that travelers are not detained or quarantined in countries whom require proof of certain immunizations.
