Traveling from Colombia to Brazil - do I need yellow fever vaccination?

Traveling from Colombia to Brazil - do I need yellow fever vaccination? - 2 Green Palm Trees Beside Wooden Door

So I’m in kind of a difficult situation. I just realised that I might need proof of having had the yellow fever vaccination to get into Brazil. I’m leaving to Brazil in 4 days and I am planning on getting the vaccination tomorrow in Colombia. However, it needs 10 days for the vaccination to work - do you think I’ll have trouble at check-in/Brazilian immigration? From what I understand, Brazil does not require proof of yellow fever vaccination on departure/arrival from Colombia but it’s unclear.

Thanks for the help/advice!



Best Answer

In the past four and a half years, I've traveled into Brazil on a few dozen occasions. I've entered by plane, in Rio and Sao Paulo, and by land from several countries. Not once was proof of my yellow fever vaccination requested.

So, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.
