Vaccination requirements for travelers from Papua New Guinea The World Health Organization (WHO) declared wild poliovirus as a Public Health Emergency on 5 May 2014. To mitigate any potential risk to Australia, the Department of Home Affairs requires that travellers from countries that have the potential to spread the disease internationally present a valid certificate of vaccination. This advice is consistent with the direction from the WHO and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been listed on the Global Polio Eradication Initiative website as an outbreak country. Therefore, visa applicants from PNG must provide a valid certificate of vaccination with their visa application. A polio vaccination can be obtained from any suitably qualified medical clinic in PNG or aboard. It is not a requirement that the vaccination be issued by a Departmental panel clinic.
