HEALTH CONCERNS AND VACCINATIONS FOR TRAVELERS TO BRAZIL
With some sensible planning before your departure, simple precautions during your travels, you can avoid most health problems in Brazil.
See your doctor (especially if you already have some health problem) and make sure your vaccinations are up to date.
Yellow fever vaccination is recommended (and is required if you are coming from certain countries to Brazil) for all lowland tropical areas.

Malaria is present in the Amazon states (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins, western Maranhão and northern Mato Grosso). The use of anti-malarials, which do not offer complete protection and have side-effects, should be weighed against the real risk of exposure (which varies over time and by region). Check with your doctor.

Make sure you have adequate health insurance and travel with a basic health kit. Brazil has a very good network of pharmacies.
