VACCINES REQUIRED

See the latest CDC recommendations.We are NOT in a malaria endemic zone, except for the 2 days we travel to Brazil/ Argentina.Just use OFF and protective clothing.We do not recommend malaria prophylaxis for short or long term missionaries.We are in a Yellow Fever endemic area, so please do get this (at a travel medicine clinic or Dept of Public Health/ County hospital setting).Typhoid vaccine is also recommended in addition to the routine immunizations.Start these ASAP as some take months to complete the series! Do not worry about the rabies vaccine either.
