Abstract
The << Personal Immunization Card >> is entering more and more in prac tice, even though its existence is not yet acknowledged. One of his ad vantages is to consider the travel medicine counsellor on one hand and the travelling adult on the other hand, being able to take a licit de cision in account to informative data. That means to give the two acto rs-guarantors of the compliance - the responsability in Public Health, in a domain considered until now in the same way as that of vaccinati ons in Infancy. The obligations and recommandations may not be suffici ent, it is necessary to be convincing at the adult age. Without a doub t, we should get ride of the a priori with the progress in biology. We shall update our behaviour.
