DOH MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR, September 06, 1965
a) The international certificate of vaccination is not valid
unless the immunizations entered therein are stamped with the seal of
the health administration of the country where such immunizations have
been administered. It is recommended that prior to booking of
passengers scrutiny of their certificates should be done to verify if
such certificates have been properly accomplished.b) Cholera immunization is not required from passengers
arriving in the Philippines from non-infected areas. For passengers
debarking and staying in Manila prior to their departure for another
port, cholera immunization shall be required at their ports of
destination because the Philippines is considered an infected area. It
is therefore advisable for such passengers to procure their cholera
immunizations prior to their departure from their place of origin.
