Departure Requirements from Brazil: how it works in Brazil — first-hand

From real experience

Passengers departing from Brazil (an endemic zone for Yellow Fever) to certain international destinations (e.g., Cuba) may be required to present a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.
Airlines can enforce this requirement at the point of departure (e.g., Rio de Janeiro). Attempting to transit through a third country (e.g., Peru) without the certificate may not circumvent the requirement, as the certificate can still be demanded for onward travel from the transit country to the final destination. Travelers should verify health requirements for all countries on their itinerary.

Yellow fever vaccination is not typically required to enter Brazil, but it is often mandatory for re-entry or transit in specific countries (check the official WHO or government list).
Vaccination certificates become valid 10 days after the injection. Passengers lacking proof of vaccination may face boarding denial at transit hubs like Doha or Addis Ababa.

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.
