Required changes to Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre stamps

In preparation for distribution of new International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, all Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (YFVCs) are reminded that they will need to change their official YFVC stamps in order to fit International Certificate of Vaccination new stamp requirements.

The stamps used by each YFVC will need to be changed to accommodate a smaller space on the new certificate.  The new stamp should measure 20mm by 10mm and contain only the YFVC number and the words “United Kingdom”, e.g.:             

        

                   UKYFVC00000

                   United Kingdom

NaTHNaC do not supply YFVC stamps nor do we recommend any particular supplier. YFVCs should order new stamps from their usual stationery suppliers so that they will be ready when the new format certificates are distributed shortly.

The new stamp guidelines are available to download here.
