Do I need Yellow Fever for Chile?

No. Chile is not a Yellow Fever risk country and the vaccine is not required for entry from the UK. It may be requested if you are arriving from a YF risk country such as Brazil or Peru.

Is malaria a risk in Chile?

No. There is no malaria risk anywhere in Chile, including the Amazonian fringe areas.

What about Atacama altitude?

San Pedro de Atacama is at 2,400m with excursions to 4,300m or higher. Acclimatise for at least 24 to 48 hours, hydrate well and ascend gradually. The pharmacist can discuss prescription options at the consultation.

How soon should I book?

Ideally 2 to 4 weeks before departure, although Hep A and Typhoid give meaningful protection within days, so last minute bookings are still worthwhile.
