Thanks for the info Roberto- I've decided it makes more financial sense to go to Uruguay- does anybody know how to find out information on where to get the yellow fever vaccine for free in Buenos Aires? I know I can pay 130 pesos and get it at a hospital but I've heard there are places you can get it for free. | ||

Ana, not sure how up to date this information is but you can call or check... Can you read spanish? Oh.. I think Arial suggested also the trip to Uruguay (thanks). * GRATUITAMENTE, se vacuna contra la Fiebre Amarilla en la Dirección de Sanidad de Fronteras y Terminales de Transportes. * La Dirección funciona (en Buenos Aires) en Ingeniero Huergo 690, San Telmo. TE: 4343-1190 * La vacunación son los martes y miercoles de 11:00 a 12:00 horas. y los jueves y viernes de 16:00 a 17:00 horas * Hay que llevar DNI o pasaporte y una jeringa descartable de 1 cc. If possible, could you please report on this forum if this happened to be the right information or if it needs to be corrected? | ||

This is news to me. I just did an Internet search that said Uruguay is not a risk for yellow fever. Some parts of the far north of Argentina could have risk in the jungle, (Iguazu, northern Salta, etc.) Why are you looking for a yellow fever vaccination before going to Uruguay? | ||

As Arial mentioned, Uruguay is not in the list of regions that pose any risk. I thought it was a general question... The areas to focus on are: Misiones, Formosa, Chaco, Corrientes, Salta and Jujuy. In particular towns that are bordering Bolivia, Paraguay and Brasil. | ||

Maybe it was a general question, Roberto. She mentioned Uruguay and asked about the yellow fever vaccine and so that was what I thought. But if she is going north later, maybe it's a good idea. I wouldn't do it but . . . maybe we should. |
