Immunizations in Brazil

Immunizations for me is a big topic because it's there are times that you here of someone who traveled to a country for a vacation and a few days or a week later they are in the hospital fighting some type of unknown disease. Brazil is a beautiful country with a lush culture and it is home to the Amazon and the Iguazu Falls. Even though it is very beautiful there are some immunization requirements for visiting this country. Yellow Fever is a vaccination requirement for all passengers who planb to visit the rural areas of this country like Amapa, Amazonas, Mato Grosso and so forth. Brazil does not have a outbreak of yellow fever at this time but it does not mean that one should be not prepared. Malaria and Heptatitis A are also among the required vaccinations. This topic is meaningful to me because I have often thought about traveling to different countries for vacations as well as doing some mission work. It is always helpful to do your research before visiting a country and if a vaccination is needed then it is wise to get your vaccination then wait 4to 6 weeks to allow the vaccination to work before traveling.
