Changes to country yellow fever certificate requirements
Important reminder to look out for updates to country yellow fever certificate requirements
Yellow fever has been designated as an infection for which an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) may be required for travellers as a condition of entry to a country.
Member states are asked to submit details of their yellow fever certificate requirements to World Health Organization (WHO). Information is usually published every two years by the WHO and details of the most recent requirements can be found on our Country Information pages.
However, country requirements are subject to change at any time. Since the last WHO update, NaTHNaC have become aware that some countries have made changes to their certificate requirements for entry. Where NaTHNaC are aware of changes, and this information is verified, details will be added to our Country Information pages, in the vaccine recommendations section.
As information about current certificate requirements may not be reflected in the current WHO publication 'Vaccination requirements and recommendations for international travellers' or on our Country Information pages, travellers should ensure that they know the requirements of the country to which they are travelling by checking with the relevant consulate or embassy.
Updates from the World Health Organization for all countries are anticipated in the coming months.
