Proof of Measles Vaccination required?Country forums / Central America / Honduras | ||
Oh no! The US State Department website says " The Honduran government issued a declaration in May 2011 requiring proof of measles and rubella vaccination for all foreign travelers from North America, Europe, Africa, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. " This is the first I have heard of this, and we are leaving for Honduras in a week! Both of us had measles as children (we're in our 50's), but we have no proof of this. Are we going to be turned away at the airport? | ||
I flew into Honduras in late May and nobody inquired about any of those concerns, The US State Dept is a joke...never heard of this on the forum, or Trip Advisor, nor on airline websites. | 1 | |
Do you have a yellow card? Make up a stamp (kits available at Office Max or similar) stating something convincing about the measles vaccine or any invented name of a travel medical clinic. Scrawl a signature over it. Yer done. No yellow card? Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Mark | 2 | |
i just crossed honduras, 2 times, very recently and nothing was asked about proof of measles in either crossing. | 3 | |
Arrived in June and again in September of this year with no questions asked about vaccinations. | 4 | |
Thanks, everyone. That's what I suspected, but if there is anything to possibly worry about, I will! You have set my mind at ease, about that, anyway. | 5 | |
