Vaccines for jungle?

Question

What do I need for Peruvian/Brazilian jungles? Coming from Iowa.

Answer 1

You will need the yellow fever vaccine for both countries (jungles) You wont need Malaria or hepatitis. dont worry although I would get the hepatitis vaccines just in case but not especifically for the jungle. Yellow fever proof is a must.

Answer 2

The CDC has good information for travelers from the US visiting other countries.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE of the special instructions lower on the page.  Since you indicated you are going into the jungle you will have extra requirements for immunizations that a vacationer spending time in resort towns would probably not have to worry about.
