At present, no yellow fever certificate is required to enter Brazil. However, since yellow fever is present in Brazil, do find out what are the rules on other countries along your route, as you might be required to present a certificate if your departure point is Brazil.

Are there any updates regarding the yellow fever vaccinations rules at the border? I'm also travelling to Manaus and likely some areas in Amazonas. In principle I'd prefer avoiding vaccines but I'm seeing you list my destinations among the risk areas...and I try to minimize risks. Could you please advice me? Thanks a lot Hi Toni,

I am entering Brazil from Colombia, crossing at Leticia to Tabatinga. I have had the yellow fever vaccination, but I dont have the certificate since it was stolen along with some other stuff a few weeks back. I do, however, have a photocopy of the certificate. Will this be sufficient for entry into Brazil? Thanks Hi Tony, my question is somewhat similar to Jackie´s. I am entering Brazil from Colombia, crossing at Leticia to Tabatinga. I have had the yellow fever vaccination, but I dont have the certificate since it was stolen along with some other stuff a few weeks back.

I do, however, have a photocopy of the certificate. Will this be sufficient for entry into Brazil?

Thanks

I see back in March you were saying that Brazilian authorities were not asking for Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificates regardless of where the person is coming from. I was wondering if that's still the case, because I'll be in Peru and Ecuador before I fly into Brazil in July. I'm not going to any risk areas in any of those three countries, and can't get the vaccine due to an immune system suppressant I'm currently taking. Thanks, Jackie Hi Tony,

Strictly speaking, there have been no cases of urban yellow fever yet, but if you are going to be visiting any parks or similar spaces then there is a risk. The local authorities in Brasilia have organized several mass campaigns of vaccination against yellow fever, so that will give you a real indication of the importance of taking the shot - unless there are medical reasons preventing your daughter from doing so.

My daughter is going to Brazil next week on a college trip, they will visit Rio, Sau Paulo, and Brazilia. They will be in cities. I did notice Brazilia is in the yellow risk area. Should she get the vaccine? The college professor who is taking them, says it is not necessary, but I'm not sure that is correct??? Thanks! Thank you for the information, but I still have a question.
