Travel vaccinations
for Brazil.
Brazil’s health risks depend heavily on where you’re headed. Rio, São Paulo and the coastal cities carry very different considerations to the Amazon region, where yellow fever and malaria both become relevant. Our GPhC-registered pharmacist provides a full pre-travel health assessment tailored to your route, in a single visit.
What you need before you travel to Brazil.
Yellow fever isn’t required for direct entry from the UK, but it is recommended across most of Brazil, particularly rural, forested and Amazon regions, given ongoing transmission risk. There is no yellow fever risk in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, or the coastal beach resorts most tourists visit, so the vaccine may not be necessary if your trip is confined to these areas. It can be required for entry to some neighbouring South American countries if you’re arriving from Brazil, so check your full itinerary.
Malaria in Brazil is concentrated in the Amazon region, with no risk in Brasília, Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. Typhoid and hepatitis A are recommended for most travellers due to food and water hygiene, and dengue and chikungunya are both present, though vaccines for these are only recommended for specific groups rather than all travellers.
What we can provide.
Recommended for most of Brazil, particularly the Amazon region, though not needed for trips confined to Rio, São Paulo or the coast. ICVP certificate issued if needed.
