Entry requirement for Brazil - Yellow Fever certficate?
I am currently backpacking through South America and my bag got stolen from a bus station in Santiago last night.In my bag was my yellow fever certficate.
As a UK citizen, am I required to show this as I cross into the Brazilian border?
If so, will a photocopy of the original certification suffice or do I require another authentic copy of a yellow fever certificate to be sent from the UK?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

I come from the US, but I've never been asked for the certificate. I think the rules regarding this may have changed about four years ago, so that only people coming from high-risk places (such as parts of Africa) have to show the card. In any case, I think if you're asked for it you can just get another jab instead. But I don't think you will. I've made five separate trips to Brazil over the last couple of years and never been asked for it.3
I have never been asked to show it in South America. The one time I had to show it was coming back into Australia. You might have to do this when you go back to the UK.
