The Ministry of Health of the Federative Republic of Brazil recently warned international travelers about an increase in the transmission of the yellow fever virus, which is expected to continue until May 2025.
As of February 2, 2025, this yellow fever (YF) warning is particularly relevant for the Brazilian states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Roraima, and Tocantins.
This travel alert is essential for São Paulo, which welcomed over 2.2 million tourists last year and may account for most of Brazil's yellow fever cases in 2025.
