I live in Brasil and have had loads!

All the heps. TB. up to date Tet. You need to have Yellow Fever for some areas of the Amazon. If you enter without they may not let you leave!

I would, If you have time get the rabies jab too. Its the only one I haven't done.

Its all just in case because if you get sick up the Amazon you have a big problem!

I would highly recommend taking some lice shampoo as well!
