Traveling overseas?

Brazil

Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America and fifth largest in the world. Famous for its football (soccer) tradition and its annual Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife and Olinda. It is a country of great diversity. From the bustling urban mosaic of Sao Paulo to the infinite cultural energy of Pernambuco and Bahia, the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and world-class landmarks such as the Iguazu Falls, there is plenty to see and to do in Brazil.

Malaria

Transmission occurs throughout the year. Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for certain areas.

Traveler’s Diarrhea

High risk exists throughout the country, including in deluxe accommodations. Food and beverage precautions are essential to reduce the likelihood of illness. A Gastro Kit can be purchased from Travel Vaccination Health care, which includes prescription and non-prescription medications for presumptive self-treatment if diarrhoea occurs.
