Any input? | Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 3867 Msg: #2 342 days ago, December 20th 2008 | Yellow Fever - and get a certificate which is valid for 10 years. | It's only required for some regions but technically if you've traveled to Brazil some other countries may require evidence of the inoculation - but I've never been required to show the certificate in either Brazil, Paraguay or any other country.

You will certainly be fine without so don't stress about getting them. In addition shots only become active after your anitbodies have fully developed so if yo'ure leaving next week, a shot now won't do you any good for weeks to come yet. | Em and Frankie Michaela and Francesco Post Count: 32 Msg: #5 330 days ago, January 1st 2009 | Hi There | As Ali and Travelita said I also did not have to show the certificate in Brazil and Argentina. However, just for information when we crossed the border from Brazil to Venezuela, we had to show our Yellow Fewer Certificates. If you are not able to show it, you have to get a shot there and then at the border. Cheers Em&Frankie Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 5 | |||||||||||||
