Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate
Accommodation - Waterfront
An International law requires travellers crossing the borders of countries where yellow fever is
endemic to have yellow fever vaccinations. After you’ve been vaccinated, you’ll be issued with a yellow fever certificate.
The certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, and stays valid for 10 years.
If you’ve travelled in a yellow fever region, in the six days before you wish to visit South Africa, you’ll have to show your yellow fever certificate when you enter the country.
Please note that if your plane lands in a country listed as yellow fever endemic, even if you do not disembark, you will still need a yellow fever vaccination certificate.
This is especially of importance for the South Americans as Argentina, Peru and Brazil are on the list of countries where Yellow Fever is endemic.

Chile is not but as all flights have transit stop overs in Argentina or Brazil going to South Africa, people from Chile will also need to have a valid yellow fever certificate! Otherwise they might also not be allowed to board the plane and miss the congress.
