Vaccine's for South America

Fishermans Friend

Heading to Argentina,Uruguay,Bolivia and Peru in September.
have read a bit on line about some countries asking for proof of vaccine on entry.
Will this just be for the normal travel vaccines or would I need to get a copy of all the vaccines I've had since birth? And where would I get these anyway?
Anyone any experience of being checked for this?

Don't get worried. I wasn't asked for proof of vaccines for entry to any of those countries last month despite the fact that, for work purposes, I got vaccines for most everything you'd need except yellow fever.

I did hear that entry to Brazil requires proof of yellow fever vaccine if coming from a YF area, and this could include the Amazonal parts of Bolívia or Perú.

If unsure, contact one of the many Tropical Medical Bureaus in Ireland - they can help you out.

I was in a yellow fever part of Peru and wasnt asked for proof of vaccination when entering Brazil ( I had the vaccine though), maybe its luck whether you get picked on or not

Seems fairly inconsistent, alright.
