The U.S. Public Health Service has designated the Texas Department of Health as the governmental entity in the State of Texas which is responsible for determining which physicians in the state are authorized to administer yellow fever vaccine and validate cholera vaccinations for persons who travel outside the United States. The department provides this authorization by issuing vaccination stamps to designated physicians. There are two types of stamps: yellow fever vaccination stamps and cholera stamps. These sections cover the criteria by which the department issued the vaccination stamps to physicians.
