thx fer the replies. The point is, taking the jab isn't an option, it's a no can do not having it would be bad, having it could be everything. I have Addisons disease (adrenal related, I run on cortisol related medication) and taking a live vaccine would be very bad (apparently) so the best I can do is Deet etc. and buying lots of disposable electronic bug zappers (not). but detouring around Bolvia would be a bummer, especially when you consider that all the dengue/malaria/yellow fever issues are elevation challenged meaning over an avg elev. of 1200M it's all moot as the threat doesn't exist (+- elev. depending on areas).
That said, if they are just starting to ask for the certificate, then shurely my "I can't have it" letter should get me a Mulligan. I've copies of all med. related stuff, if the abcense of a jab means go to plan B, then I suppose it'll be plan B. From what I've gleened from trying to figure out a yellow fever threat l've determined that Dengue looks far more prevolent and incidental.
Dunno. I've thought about it all til my head spins.
Wayne.
