Annual Renewal of Yellow Fever Provider Site Authorization
Renewal of authorization for yellow fever vaccination sites is completed through an annual survey which collects updated clinic contact information, a current list of vaccinators at the clinic and services offered. Certificates of completion of the CDC Yellow Fever Training Course for any new vaccinator listed must accompany the annual renewal form, and the form must contain the original signature of the authorized stamp owner.

Medical Waivers
The waiver needs to state the medical reason the person cannot receive vaccination. The waiver should be written on letterhead stationery and should include yellow fever stamp to validate it. The Medical Contraindication section of the ICVP should also be completed. Both documents should be carried while traveling.
