When traveling from Brazil to Russia with a layover in Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), a yellow fever vaccination certificate is generally NOT required if the transit zone is not exited. This was confirmed by Ethiopian Airlines hotline. However, travelers report conflicting experiences and some prefer to get vaccinated as a precaution. There were also reports of individuals spreading false information and offering fraudulent certificates. For other routes, e.g., via Turkey (Turkish Airlines), a yellow fever certificate *might* be required, verify with the airline. The region of Foz do Iguaçu, despite being a yellow fever risk area, had no reported cases recently according to local hospitals, but personal experience suggests getting vaccinated for peace of mind.

Yellow fever vaccination requirements vary by destination and transit countries. As of user reports: Turkey does not require yellow fever vaccination for travelers from Brazil; the Dominican Republic and Peru do. The yellow fever vaccination certificate is generally valid for life. The certificate is issued upon receiving the vaccine at an authorized clinic. Some travelers reportedly attempt to obtain certificates without vaccination, which is not recommended.
Post-vaccination reactions to the yellow fever vaccine vary significantly among travelers
Post-vaccination reactions to the yellow fever vaccine vary significantly among travelers. Common reported side effects include localized soreness, mild fever (37.0–37.3°C), and chills occurring between 1 and 10 days post-injection. Standard medical advice typically suggests paracetamol for fever and antihistamines (like suparastin) for allergic reactions.
