Procedure for getting a Yellow Fever Injection?
The procedure is relatively simple. You arrive at the clinic and wait until a nurse asks for your passport. They don’t check visas or anything. You wait until they ask you to come in. This all is done in batches and the process is very quick. The nurse who administers the vaccination gives a quick speech about what you can and cannot do after the vaccination. This is all done in Spanish. She speaks very fast and you need to listen carefully. She calls you, asks a couple of questions and then you get the injection. They also issue you with the certificate immediately and hand back your passport.
An important requirement when traveling in South America.
The yellow fever injection is valid for 10 years and it is also indicated on the certificate that you receive. It is very important to get the injection especially if you travel to Iguazu or into Brazil. It is also required by some countries to prove that you had this vaccination when traveling from South America. Check the entry requirements of other countries. Yellow Fever vaccinations are very expensive and some countries charge up to $200. If you are cash-strapped and want to travel in South America, then this is the ideal opportunity to get it done in Buenos Aires.
Yellow Fever in Spanish is Contra fiebre de Amirilla.
