Yellow Fever Vaccination for South America in any: real experience from chats

Short answer
Check specific entry and transit requirements for yellow fever vaccination for every country in your itinerary, as enforcement is often inconsistent. It is highly advisable to get vaccinated if you plan to visit Amazonian regions or travel through countries that mandate the certificate for transit.

From real experience

When planning travel to Brazil and Peru, check vaccination requirements, particularly for Yellow Fever.
While Peru may not explicitly require it, countries like Colombia do. Airlines like Ethiopian Airlines may not always enforce these regulations strictly, especially for transit passengers not leaving the airport. However, it is advisable to get vaccinated if traveling to Amazonian regions or if connecting through countries that mandate the vaccine.

Yellow fever certificate requirements in Bolivia may depend on altitude, with checks potentially being less stringent in areas above 2300 meters.
This suggests that compliance might be regional or subject to random checks rather than a universal rule.
✓ 1 report from chats
Yellow fever vaccination certificates are often not requested when crossing land or air borders between LATAM countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.
However, the certificate may be required for departure from certain cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, when flying to destinations like Bangkok with a layover in Dubai. Upon arrival in Thailand, the certificate was not requested. Travelers should be aware of potential requirements at departure points and during transit, even if not enforced within the destination region.

Despite potential requirements, yellow fever vaccination certificates were not checked in several Latin American countries, including Bolivia.
