| Yellow Fever, Latin America:
Due to several localised outbreaks of Yellow Fever throughout South America, the regulations for Yellow Fever vaccinations have recently changed for various countries throughout South and Central America. We strongly recommend that you consult your GP or a specialised travel clinic at least 2 months prior to departure. It would also be prudent to consult your GP or Travel Clinic again just prior to your departure as Yellow Fever vaccination requirements for individual countries continue to be updated frequently.
