Vaccines

Yellow Fever Vaccine
You don’t need a yellow fever vaccine to visit Panama. It’s strongly recommended if visiting remote areas. The thing is other countries may ask for proof of a vaccine if they see Panama stamp on your passport. My moto is to avoid hassles and be safe.

Only place to get it is Ministry of Health Department (Health Center, Cardenas – Canal Zone area). It is free and $5 for international vaccine card.
