What vaccinations are required for travel to Argentina?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website provides recommended and/or required vaccinations for each country. For Argentina, it recommends that you should be up-to-date with routine shots such as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, and poliovirus vaccine, and that you get vaccinated for Hepatitis A and Typhoid, and Hepatitis B, depending upon your travel plans. The CDC recommends Yellow Fever vaccination if you are traveling to the northern and northeastern forested areas of Argentina, including Iguassu Falls and all areas bordering Paraguay and Brazil. The CDC also suggests that you see a health-care provider at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect.
