Health

Health and welfare :

All the salaried workers in Brazil are covered by the Brazilian social security system (INSS).
This covers treatment in the public hospitals. These are not very good, under-equipped and under-staffed. It is therefore highly advisable to subscribe to a private health and welfare insurance cover 'plano de saude', which, against a monthly payment of about 1,500 FF per family, gives a right to an excellent private system.
There is a risk of malaria in the north-west of the country. There is less risk along the Amazone, but high risk in mining and agricultural regions.

Vaccinations :

None are obligatory for a visit to Brazil, but it is recommended to be vaccinated against yellow fever and smallpox, especially if you are going to certain zones like the Mato-Grosso. (Remember that the smallpox vaccine is only valid for three years).
Adults should have the usual vaccines done (tetanos, polio), and children should get shots against measles. An anti-rabies vaccine is advisable if you are staying for a while.
All vaccinations should appear in an international certificate booklet (on sale in bookshops or travel agencies). If they were done by a doctor, his name, the municipality in which he works and his inscription number in the Order (with the code of the department) should be marked against the vaccination certificate.
