Le nouveau carnet de vaccination fait barrage à la fraude

Since April 15, 2026 , Côte d'Ivoire has taken a decisive step in securing its health documents. The new international vaccination booklet, presented by Professor Daniel Ekra (Director General of the INHP), now combines regulatory tradition with cutting-edge technologies.

🛡️ A technological bulwark against falsification

Far from being a mere aesthetic update, this notebook incorporates security features comparable to those of fiat currency:

  1. Infrared watermarks: Certified pages that can be authenticated under specific light.
  2. QR Code & Digitalisation: A secure database now allows total traceability for border controls.
  3. Visual changes: Removal of the passport number from the cover and addition of new vaccination sections.

📋 Things you need to know for travelers

The document remains compliant with the requirements of the World Health Organization (WHO) and validates lifelong protection against yellow fever (in force since 2016).

Details Key information
Target audience International travellers given priority.
Cost of the notebook 5,500 FCFA (price remains unchanged).
Yellow Fever Vaccine 2,500 FCFA (accessible to all).
Places of deliverance INHP centers (Abidjan and the interior of the country).

⏳ Transition and compliance

The authorities have instituted a six-month grace period, running from April to October 2026 , to renew the old models.

Good to know: Ivorians residing abroad are not forgotten; they can start the process remotely through their relatives who remained in the country.

This reform does not simply modernize the administration; it strengthens the credibility of the Ivorian health pass on the international stage while drastically limiting the risks of the spread of cross-border diseases.
