HEALTH. VACCINATION. POLICE AND 
INOCULATION CERTIFICATES 
1. Health and Smallpox Vaccination Certifi¬ 
cates? Where both are required, the general 
health and smallpox vaccination certificates 
can ordinarily be combined in one document. 
In practically all cases, when health and 
smallpox vaccination certificates are required, 
it is specified that in order to be valid for 
entry general health certificates must be 
dated not more than six months prior to the 
date of entry into the country, colony, etc., 
concernedand that the smallpox vaccination 
must have been performed not more than 
three years prior to the date of such entry. 
In certain instances, however, other limits are 
prescribed and since it is important that both 
certificates comply with any such require¬ 
ments as to date, a Consul of the- country, 
colony, etc., concerned or a Pan American 
Airways System office or agency should be 
consulted concerning same . 
2. Yellow Fever and Cholera Inoculations for 
Africa and the Middle East: Military per¬ 
sonnel should obtain all their inoculations 
and vaccinations from the Medical Depart¬ 
ment of the branch of the service concerned, 
and in each case should obtain a certificate 
to be carried showing date of inoculation.
