Colombia: New Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirements

 

Yellow Fever Vaccination Required for Public Transportation and Parks


Colombia now requires proof of yellow fever (YF) vaccination when using public transportation services or visiting national nature parks due to the YF health emergency in the country. The YF vaccination entry requirement remains unchanged. 


Requirement (for entry, per WHO): A certificate proving yellow fever (YF) vaccination is required for travelers aged ≥ 1 year coming from Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda. This also applies to airport transit stops (no exit through immigration checkpoint) longer than 12 hours in these countries.


NEW: Colombia requires proof of vaccination prior to entering the national nature parks of Amacayacu, Cahuinarí National Park, Corales del Rosario and San Bernardo, Cordillera de Los Picachos, El Tuparro, Farallones de Cali, Gorgona, La Paya, Las Orquídeas National Park, Macuira, Old Providence McBean Lagoon, Paramillo National Park, Puinawai, Río Puré National Park, Sanquianga, Serranía de Chiribiquete, Serranía de los Churumbelos, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Tayrona, Tinigua, Uramba Bahía Málaga, Utria, and Yaigojé Apaporis; the flora and fauna sanctuaries of Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta Sanctuary, El mono Hernández Cork Forest, Los Colorados, Los Flamencos, and Malpelo; Orito Ingi-Ande; and Salamanca Park.


NEW: Proof of vaccination (administered ≥ 10 days prior to travel) is required for persons using public transportation services in the country; however, a signed declaration assuming direct responsibility for any possible infection of themselves and/or others is acceptable if a vaccination certificate is not available or not yet valid. Proof of vaccination (or a signed declaration) should be carried at all times.

Measles ALERT FROM HEALTH CANADA - February 2024

Measles Update

 

Public health alert - Global increase in measles cases


Date of alert: February 06, 2024


The COVID-19 pandemic caused global disruptions, delays, and gaps in immunization activities for routine vaccinations, including measles.


There is an increase of measles activity worldwide. Any non-immune person (not vaccinated or vaccinated but did not develop immunity) can become infected. Unvaccinated young children and pregnant persons are at highest risk of severe measles complications.


There is an increasing risk of importing measles into Canada through travel of non-immune people.


Protection against measles is especially important for people planning travel. As such, the following is recommended for those travelling outside of Canada:


Travellers born before 1970:


1 dose of the measles-containing vaccine is recommended before travel if the traveller has no laboratory evidence of immunity (e.g. through blood testing or history of lab-confirmed measles disease).


Travellers born in 1970 or after (12 months or older):


2 doses of the measles-containing vaccine are recommended before travel if there is no laboratory evidence of immunity (e.g. through blood testing or history of lab-confirmed measles disease).


Travelling with infants (6 months to 12 months of age):


If your patient is travelling with an infant to regions where measles is a concern, the vaccine may be given as early as 6 months of age. If this is the case, the routine 2-dose series must be restarted on or after the first birthday. A total of 3 doses are given.

o  It is not recommended that infants under 6 months of age be vaccinated because the effectiveness and safety of the MMR vaccine has not been established in this age group.
