Vaccinations & Shots

There are NO required vaccinations or shots for travel to Brazil. However, you should consult your doctor to assure that all of your immunizations are up-to-date.

It is recommended to have the vaccination against yellow fever, for tourists that intend to visit the following Brazilian states: Acre, Amazonas, Amapa, Federal District, Goias, Maranhao, Mato Grosso do Sul, Para, Rondonia, Roraima and Tocantins. If you have recently visited a country, which is known to suffer from outbreaks of Yellow Fever, you will need to show that you have been vaccinated against the disease.

We recommend that you consult with your local travel clinic for recommended inoculations for travel to Brazil. Your local travel clinic may have some recommendations specifically for you.

To find out the most current travel health information, we recommend that you contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
