Yellow Fever Vaccination - US Embassy

The U.S. Embassy advises U.S. citizens in Colombia to carry evidence of yellow fever vaccination.  Although there has not been a single case of yellow fever diagnosed in Colombia this year, neighboring Brazil continues to experience a large outbreak.  The Colombian Ministry of Health and Social Protection has initiated a campaign to ensure all residents have been vaccinated against yellow fever.  Airlines and the media have reported confusion over which travelers need yellow fever vaccination.

The embassy recommends that all travelers between the ages of 1 – 60 years receive the yellow fever vaccine at least 10 days before traveling to areas in Colombia (see map) determined to be at high risk of yellow fever transmission. Bogota, Cartagena, and Medellin are not high risk areas.  National parks located in high risks areas may deny entry to travelers who do not have proof of yellow fever vaccination.  Airlines may request vaccination cards for passengers traveling to high risk areas, and may screen passengers for symptoms of yellow fever.  One dose of the vaccine provides life-long immunity, so boosters are not usually recommended or required.  U.S. citizens should travel with their yellow International Certificate of Vaccination.

The following individuals should not receive the yellow fever vaccine: children under the age of nine months, pregnant women, adults over the age of 60, people with a life-threatening condition, an immune deficiency, a thymus disorder or allergic to eggs.
