Sec. 71.3  Designation of yellow fever vaccination centers; Validation stamps.

    (a) Designation of yellow fever vaccination centers. (1) The 
Director is responsible for the designation of yellow fever vaccination 
centers authorized to issue certificates of vaccination. This 
responsibility is delegated by the Director to a State or territorial 
health department with respect to yellow fever vaccination activities of 
non-Federal medical, public health facilities, and licensed physicians 
functioning within the respective jurisdictions of a State or 
territorial health department. Designation may be made upon application 
and presentation of evidence satisfactory to a State or territorial 
health department that the applicant has adequate facilities and 
professionally trained personnel for the handling, storage, and 
administration of a safe, potent, and pure yellow fever vaccine. Medical 
facilities of Federal agencies are authorized to obtain yellow fever 
vaccine without being designated as a yellow fever vaccination center by 
the Director.
    (2) A designated yellow fever vaccination center shall comply with 
the instruction issued by the Director or by a delegated officer or 
employee of a State or territorial health department for the handling, 
storage, and administration of yellow fever vaccine. If a designated 
center fails to comply with such instruction, after notice to the 
center, the Director or, for non-Federal centers, a State or territorial 
health department, may revoke designation.
    (b) Validation stamps. International Certificates of Vaccination 
against cholera and yellow fever issued for vaccinations performed in 
the United States shall be validated by:
    (1) The Seal of the Public Health Service; or
    (2) The Seal of the Department of State; or
    (3) The stamp of the Department of Defense; or
    (4) The stamp issued to the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration; or
    (5) The stamp issued by a State or territorial health department; or
    (6) An official stamp of a design and size approved by the Director 
for such purpose.
