Do I need to take any vaccines?
On the Ministry of Health website - in the "GUIDELINES ON DISORDERS" section - it is possible to consult relevant information about vaccines required for entry into countries, as well as identify what are the official guidelines to prepare for your trip in a safe manner and in compliance with the public health protocols.
The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (CIVP) is the official document that proves immunization and can be issued online through the service available on the gov.br website - in the Health and Health Surveillance section. By accessing the website you can start issuing your CIVP and also consult the list of countries that require this certification.
What should I do if I get sick during the flight?
If you become ill on board the aircraft, notify the cabin crew, who will take the necessary steps and alert the health services at your destination.
On flights lasting more than four hours, prolonged immobility increases the risk of venous thrombosis. Therefore, try to exercise every two or three hours. If you are at a high risk for this condition, remember to see a doctor.

What should I do if I get sick after returning from the trip?
After returning from the trip, if you have a fever or other symptoms such as diarrhea, skin problems, or respiratory issues, seek immediate medical attention and inform them of the regions you visited.
What precautions do I need to take upon arrival at my destination?
Always be aware of the safety and quality of what you consume or offer to children, so as to avoid health problems associated with contaminated food or water.
Some species of birds and mammals can also transmit infectious diseases, even in urban areas. Therefore, avoid close contact with live or dead birds.
If you are bitten by domestic or wild mammals, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and seek medical attention.
New influenza viruses circulate each year, which is why vaccination is annual. Eating well, adopting healthy and hygienic habits, and avoiding stress are the most effective forms of prevention.
