Under Article 66 of the International Health Regulations, "the vaccinating centre for Yellow Fever must have been designated by the health administration for the territory in which it is situated." In Canada, Health Canada's Quarantine, Travel and Migration Health designates Yellow Fever Centres. Yellow Fever vaccination can only be provided at designated Yellow Fever Centres. The Travel Clinic in Chatham has been designed as a Yellow Fever Centre.
