Panama Vaccinations

[marshappynation]

Can anyone who has checked into Panama recently tell me if they inquired about vaccinations at all? Specifically I've read that as of a few years ago they were requiring Yellow Fever vaccination for people arriving from Costa Rica and a few other countries.

I went there a year and a half ago and they didn't require any vaccinations. Let me fine tune that a bit - They may require vaccinations. When I went there a year and a half ago, I never looked into it and nobody questioned whether or not I had gotten any.

Here is the CDC site that will provide detailed recommendations:

Whether or not Panama require it, some other countries require that you have had it if you want to fly there FROM Panama. I think New Zealand is on that list just as an example. Just something to think about.
Why would you NOT get it by thew way. It lasts 10 years and will protect you wherever the disease might be.
