Abstract
[Extract] The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is widely used by travel health advisors to record vaccinations given to their travellers. John Skala's Travel Vaccination Certificate Book and Pre-Travel Guide, a minor update to the previous edition,1 incorporates both an ICVP2 and strategically placed essential pre-travel health advice. The Guide has become widely used in Australia and has been sponsored for distribution to general practice and travel clinics by both public and private agencies. The introductory pages include notes on "Travel Advice, Passports and Consular Assistance", as per advice provided by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade3; "Yellow Fever"; "Travellers Health Checklist"; and "Helpful Travel Health Websites". The "ICVP" then follows. The concluding pages include notes on "Malaria"; "To Prevent Malaria"; "Dengue Fever"; "Rabies", including a record for "Rabies Pre-Exposure", "Reinforcing Dose", and "Post-Exposure" – both for "Not Pre-Vaccinated" and for "Prevaccinated"; a chart giving the "Duration of Protection of Vaccines"; and a proforma for detailing "Important Medical History". On the back cover is a selection of international travel clinics, as well as a space for the practice or clinic stamp.
