I get a yellow fever shot !! My Doc says yes but it is not required for entry into the country, My girlfriend says "no thats for Africa". Cost 140.00 so its not too much $$ Anyone know? South America and i do plan on hiking in the mountains, kinda leaning towards getting one ! i already had tetanus and hep c and i think b blockers and will also take a 5 day pill series for malaria, quite a bit of things for travel but then i am told that it is a one time series of shots good for life.
