The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a web-based registry of yellow fever vaccination clinics located in the US. This list of authorized clinics is accessible from CDC's Travelers' Health website at National Yellow Fever Provider List.

To learn more about immunizations required for international travel, see the following:

• CDC Travel Information
• Infectious Disease Control Unit - International Travel

To learn more about the yellow fever disease and vaccine, see the following:

• CDC Yellow Fever Information
• Infectious Disease Control Unit - Yellow Fever FAQs

Texas DSHS does not routinely manage or maintain Yellow Fever-specific vaccination records, including International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP or “yellow cards”). Patients who received a Yellow Fever vaccination should first contact the physician or clinic that originally administered the vaccine, as that provider is the primary custodian of the immunization record.  

ImmTrac2 (Texas Immunization Registry) 

If you have consented to have your or your child’s information stored in ImmTrac2, your Yellow Fever vaccination may be included in your official Texas immunization record if the vaccinating provider reported it to the registry. Not all providers report Yellow Fever vaccinations to ImmTrac2. 

Important information about ImmTrac2 records 

• ImmTrac2 was established in the late 1990s; individuals born prior to this time may have incomplete records. 
• Immunization records are only available for individuals who provided ImmTrac2 registry consent for their information to be stored in the registry.  
• Adult records may be limited if an Adult Consent Form was not completed before age 26. 
• If a Yellow Fever vaccination was not reported by the provider, it will not appear in ImmTrac2. 

Immunization Registry Consent Forms: 

• Individuals 18-26: Complete the Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2) Adult Consent Form (PDF Stock F11-13366)
• Individuals under 18 years: Complete the Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2) Minor Consent Form (PDF Stock C-7)

Texas DSHS does not manage, issue, or reissue ICVPs. Patients in need of Yellow Card replacements should contact the physician/clinic that originally administered the immunization for a replacement card and stamp.

If you are unable to identify the Texas provider who administered the vaccine to you, Texas DSHS may be able to assist you if you still have your International Certificate for Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), commonly referred to as your “Yellow Card”. Identify the stamp number, found on your ICVP, which is in the following format “42-###-A####”.  

Email your request to YellowFever@dshs.texas.gov, including the stamp number, and the agency will attempt to assist with identification. Please allow 5-10 business days for a response. 

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is responsible for authorizing physicians in the state to administer yellow fever vaccine for travel outside the United States. A Uniform Stamp is issued to the physician and is used to validate the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICV), to verify that a traveler has been vaccinated against yellow fever.

Uniform Stamps are issued:

• only to physicians holding a current Texas medical license
• for use only at the specific vaccination center designated on the application

If a physician practices at more than one vaccination center, a separate application for each is required. Uniform Stamp authorization is required before yellow fever vaccine can be ordered and administered. A designated yellow fever vaccination center is the location where yellow fever vaccine will be shipped to and administered. The Texas Administrative Code (TAC) outlines all policies regarding Uniform Stamp authorization, and can be found online at 25 TAC Chapter 97, Subchapter G, Vaccination Stamps.

The applicant must be a physician (medical doctor or doctor of osteopathic medicine) with a current Texas medical license. Physicians interested in participating as a designated yellow fever vaccination center should submit a completed Uniform Stamp Application Form and fee to obtain a Uniform Stamp.

In January of each year, every stamp holder must submit a Uniform Stamp Renewal Form and fee in order to retain authorization to administer yellow fever vaccine. Stamp holders who do not wish to renew must return the Uniform Stamp to DSHS at the address indicated on the renewal form. If you are a public health department, please contact DSHS as there is a different procedure for your renewal.

Replacements for lost, damaged or illegible stamps may be requested by submitting the Uniform Stamp Replacement Form and fee. In all cases except for lost stamps, the old stamp must be returned to DSHS when you receive the replacement stamp.

DSHS must be notified of vaccination center address changes. If the new address is within the same county, the address change information can be faxed to DSHS at 512-776-7743. Please include both the old and the new addresses, on facility letterhead, signed by the stamp holder. Include the physician's name, stamp number and the effective date of the change.

If the vaccination center will move to a different county, a new Uniform Stamp must be issued. Please submit the Uniform Stamp Replacement Form and fee, giving as much advance notice as possible as it can take 10 weeks to receive a new stamp.

Address information will be updated with Sanofi-Pasteur and on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. Failure to notify DSHS of address changes may affect your ability to order yellow fever vaccine.

If an authorized yellow fever vaccination center does not wish to continue offering yellow fever vaccines or fails to complete an annual reauthorization, the center's uniform vaccination stamp must be returned to the Texas Department of State Health Services along with a completed Uniform Stamp Return Form. Please mail the signed form and the uniform vaccination stamp to:
