For example the United States’ and Canada’s advice are to vaccinate against: Hepatitis A Typhoid Measles Yellow fever There is an ongoing yellow fever outbreak in Brazil, including Paraná, where DebConf19 will be held. Map of affected areas . This mostly affects rural areas, Curitiba itself (and the majority of urban areas in Brazil) are not high risk areas for Yellow Fever. Brazil does not require a vaccination, but the infection is life threatening when you get bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. Your home country may not let you return from yellow fever epidemic areas, such as Brazil, without a vaccination. We therefore recommend to get a vaccination at least 10 days before travelling to Brazil. There is a global shortage of the vaccine, so you may need to schedule this far in advance.
