RIO GUIDE
Health recommendations depend on your origin, itinerary, personal circumstances and the places you will visit. Do not rely on an old publication as your only reference.
Brazil may recommend vaccination for certain areas and traveler profiles, but a health recommendation is not the same as an immigration requirement. Confirm current information with official health sources and a professional if you have questions.
Do this several weeks before your trip, especially if you need vaccinations, have a medical condition, are traveling with children, are pregnant or take regular medication.
If another country on your itinerary requires proof because of your origin or transit route, check whether you need an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis and how to obtain it in your country.
Carry personal medication in its original packaging and, when appropriate, bring a prescription or medical report. Check specific restrictions before traveling with controlled medication.
Sunscreen, hydration and insect repellent are part of everyday prevention. If you have persistent fever, breathing difficulty, dehydration or other significant symptoms, seek medical care and do not wait until the trip is over.
Brazil does not require proof of vaccination to enter the country, but the Ministry of Health recommends that international tourists arrive with vaccinations up to date according to their country of origin or residence, especially yellow fever, polio, measles and rubella, diphtheria and tetanus.
When recommended for your route, official guidance is to receive the vaccine at least 10 days before traveling so that it can provide protection.
Do not decide based only on the destination’s name: yellow-fever recommendations depend on your itinerary, vaccination history and personal circumstances. Check the current Ministry of Health schedule and consult a health professional; when vaccination is indicated for a traveller, the Ministry recommends getting it at least 10 days beforehand. An international certificate may depend on the rules of your destination or transit country.
