🦟 Risk-Based & Destination-Based Vaccines

Yellow Fever
Brazil is a Yellow Fever risk area, especially in jungle regions and some urban zones. Many travellers need this vaccine—and proof via Yellow Card for entry into Brazil or neighbouring countries.

Rabies
Recommended if you're travelling to rural areas, working with animals, or doing outdoor adventure activities.

Hepatitis B
For extended stays, healthcare work, or high exposure risk. Often combined with Hep A for dual protection.

Malaria
Present in parts of the Amazon and inland northern states. Tablets may be required depending on your itinerary.

Dengue & Chikungunya
These mosquito-borne viruses are common in Brazil. No vaccines available—use repellents and cover up.
