vaccinations needed for border crossings Peru-Bolivia-Chile ??
 

(i posted same thread somewhere else in this forum... :-) )

Hi Folks,

does anyone have some experiences concerning vaccinations needed for the border crossing from / to Bolivia into Peru or Chile? Is there any REAL check for vaccination of yellow fever on the border(s) so that the crossing may be prohibited?

Thanks for any advise!

I rode through all these countries in 2006, and was never asked to show any proof of vaccination, or asked any medical questions at all. I am vaccinated for Hep A & B and yellow fever though, and consider it cheap insurance.

Had it, was never ask for it.
 

Rode thru all those countries this past Nov, Dec, and Jan.. Was NEVER ask for the vaccination certs. I had them and was ready but ......

Vaccinations are not compulsary except yellow fever when crossing between some countries. Im not sure which ones but i know for a fact if you want to go to bolivia to brazil it will get checked as i was refused permission to cross into brazil as i didnt have one, which was easily sorted i bought a backdated one from a clinic in bolivia! And it must be dated 14 days at least before you plan to cross.
