Health Precautions

Obligatory Vaccination and Other Recommendations

It is recommended that everyone 16 years of age and older should get fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before travel and present, if necessary, evidence of COVID-19 vaccination at the border. The updated information on all health entry requirements as well as on routine and recommended vaccines for Argentina are provided on the dedicated pages on TravelHealthPro and CDC websites.
While there are no official requirements for vaccination, the following are strongly recommended: tetanus, diphtheria, typhoid fever, chickenpox, influenza, measles, rabies, hepatitis A and B, meningococcal disease and poliomyelitis. In Formosa Province and designated areas of Chaco, Jujuy, and Salta Provinces, vaccination against yellow fever is advised. The risk of P. vivax (a malaria parasite) is low and limited to rural areas along the borders with Bolivia and Paraguay. If travelling in an affected area —including the plains of Salta, Jujuy, Corrientes and Misiones —  the recommended means of prevention is CHL (chloroquine). Some travellers may wish to take precautions against travellers diarrhoea by avoiding high risk foods (undercooked meat, fish and poultry, prepared dishes eaten cold, and raw fruits and vegetables). It is recommended to only drink filtered or boiled water. If involved in an accident, an injured person is automatically taken to the emergency department of a public hospital. However, the first aid administered is basic and it is the responsibility of the injured person to be transferred to a private clinic.
