- Physical and digital vaccination certificates will be valid.
- The biological against yellow fever is available in all health centers nationwide.
- The FA vaccine is not usually recommended for older people from 60 years due to an increased risk of side effects, especially in areas with low risk of transmission. Although the vaccine is safe and effective for the majority of the population, Older adults have a weaker immune system and are more susceptible to complications, which is why the card will not be required for this age group.
We hope for the least impact on demand towards our country and I will inform you of any changes..
