Have any of you gotten a yellow fever vaccine for Brazil?I'm planning to go spend some weeks in Brazil starting in January 2026, specifically Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis but might also want to see a city in the inside of the country such as Curitiba or make a small detour at the coast seeing a small touristic places.On the one hand I read only like 50% of the brazilian population is vaccinated on the other hand I also read there's a resurgence of cases and that the vaccine has a low side effect profile.
>>2847875> specifically Rio, Sao Paulo, FlorianopolisYou don't need a vaxx for those.>Maybe Curitaba or IguazuNo vax. Only consider getting a vax if you're going to legit be deep in the interior. >On the one hand I read only like 50% of the brazilian population is vaccinated on the other hand I also read there's a resurgence of cases and that the vaccine has a low side effect profile.I know vaccines are safe and work but I grew up in a super anti-vaxx house and didn't get any as a kid. As a result I have a phobia (not of needles but of dying of a vaxx) so I get your hesitancy. But yellow fever is like playing russian roulette with good chances. There's a high chance you won't get it but if you do there's a 15-20% chance you develop a severe case and if you do there's a 30% chance you die.So chances are low you get it and if you do you probably won't die. But if you are planning on going to the interior maybe get it for peace of mind. But if you're staying on the coast don't worry about it. BTW have fun... Floripa is literally my heaven.
What exactly is going on in NW brazil that makes it so dangerous?
>>2847951Those orange rivers are drug routes
>>2847875if you're going to be in the region, you should just get it, because some countries have that as an entry requirement
>>2847875Yeah but I only got it just in case the fucks at CDE decide to check me. They never do but it doesn't hurt to not have to pay a bribe
>>2847875Get the vaccine, and more importantly retain proof of yellow fever vaccination. Many countries around the world will refuse entry to you if you have been to Brazil but have not gotten a yellow fever vaccine.
>>2847955Insane how American degeneracy has ruined so much of the world.
>>2847875There is no urban yellow fever at all in Brazil. But consider taking dengue jab
>>2847875>Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis, CuritibaI'm considering a similar trajectory. Are you planning to rent a car at any point in time? I'm considering it in the south.
>>2848577Not OP but I want to see salvador and part of the north if I go but idk whats up there. Also it would be dope af to go into the Amazon but I don't want a touristy trip unless I get to chill on a big boat like fitzcaraldo. Mostly want to see nature but I don't have any of these vaxes and I figure it would probably be easier and cheaper getting them in Brazil than here in the cuck US.
>>2847875I got it. Nothing happened to me.
>>2848116that's too bad. even though they have a sizable japanese community, they still treat them as untouchables?
>>2847875>only 50% of the population is vacinatedThat's like saying "only 70% of the world has access to clean drinking water", the rest is just Africans living in the middle of nowhere. Every Brazilian here is mandated by law to get the yellow fever vaccine when they are a child. That has been the case since many many years. You'd only find people who haven't taken the vaccine in absolute shithole parts of the country. >should I take itYes. Like the other anon said there are many countries that require you to show proof of vaccination once returning from Brazil otherwise they throw you in quarantine and jab you anyway. The vaccine works for life so there's no reason not to just take it.
