Vaccination Requirements
There is no mandatory proof of vaccination required to enter Brazil. However, the Brazilian Ministry of Health recommends that international tourists update their vaccination status prior to arrival in accordance with the guidelines in the vaccination calendar of the country of origin or residence.
Yellow Fever
The yellow fever vaccine is recommended for residents and/or travelers traveling to Vaccination Recommended Areas (ACRV), at least 10 days before the date of travel, the time necessary for the vaccine to provide protection against infection.
Measles
As it is a potentially serious and highly transmissible disease, it is important that tourists update their measles vaccination status before traveling to Brazil.
Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio
The Brazilian Ministry of Health recommends that foreign tourists come to Brazil with a complete vaccination schedule for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio, in accordance with the recommendations recommended in the country of origin.
