Did you know?
A seafarer or an OFW is required to get a YELLOW FEVER vaccine booster if their certificates are issued before 11 July 2016.
Amendment to ANNEX 7 IHR (2005) states that "In the context of international travel, the amendment to Annex 7 changes the period of validity of the related international certificate of vaccination against yellow fever, and the protection provided by vaccination against yellow fever infection under the IHR (2005), from ten (10) years to the life of the person (traveler) vaccinated. Accordingly, as of 11 July 2016, for both existing or new certificates, revaccination or a booster dose of yellow fever vaccine cannot be required of international travelers as a condition of entry into a State Party, regardless of the date their international certificate of vaccination was initially issued.
This lifetime validity of these certificates applies automatically to certificates issued after 11 July 2016, as well as certificates already issued."
