Yellow Fever -- specific format?
Hello,
In prep for our Africa drive next month, we got vaccinated at home (California), and received proof of same.
"Proof", in our case, was our vacc report, printed on a yellow standard sheet of paper, and stamped with the CA authority to give out the YF vaccine.
In our travels, I've noticed people referring to some sort of standardized booklet or card that contains their vacc record.
I phoned our doctor, and she had no idea what I was talking about.
Now I'm concerned about our paperwork being acceptable at the border crossings along the west coast route to south africa. Will our sheet of paper be acceptable? It's 100% in English and not terribly impressive looking.
Is there a way to get our vacc record "transcribed" onto something more familiar to the border people? I don't want to repeat the 6 different jabs, obviously, but I'd happily pay someone to make our vacc docs "official" if that makes sense?
Thanks for any insights.
- Mike
