Does anyone know if Costa Rica requires travellers that go to Cartagena to have yellow fever shots? If yes, do you know where in CR you can get the shots? Or a website to go to that will have the correction information.
I can’t answer your question, but if you get to a source of reliable information, would you please also find out what the “life” of yellow fever vaccination is? I had it three lifetimes ago when I was a trained killer. Am I still protected?
Thanks,
Dave

A friend of mine had to yhave the inoculation for yellow fever beore he could board the plane to LEAVE Colombia. Fortunately he had time to dash from the airport to a nearby childrens hospital and ask for the shot. The doctor told him that he had not given a yellow fever shot in years, but for $20 he could give him “the card” that the airport required.
Safest bet would be to get it here and be sure.Although this was a few years ago, some friends were not allowed to board their flight from Colombia to return to Costa Rica until they had this shot. Unfortunately, they had to get the shot and then had to wait the prescribed time which meant they had to extend their stay by four days, and that resulted in charges to change the flight and additional hotel charges plus the running around, to find where they could get the shots.
