Yellow Fever vaccination

Postby steeleblair » Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:38 pm

I've read that a yellow fever vaccination will be required for entering countries after visiting Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, or Venezuela in the last 90 days. I haven't gotten far enough to confirm what countries will require this but I have gotten the vaccination and thought I would share a web site with you to find a local clinic in the US to get one.

Hey Steele,

I also heard that when I first visited SA in 1998 so I got the jab... since then I have never been asked for the certificate in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Venezuela, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Belize... or anywhere else in Africa or Asia for that matter. But I still just got it renewed just in case! 2 days to go...
