Thanks for the link! Now I'm even more confused, because the
Brazilian Consulate in San Francisco has a different list on its
webpage:

http://www.brazilsf.org/visa_tourist_eng.htm

which in turn references the following WHO document:

http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2007/9789241580397_11_eng.pdf

which includes a much larger number of countries, including Panama.
Has anyone actually flown to Brazil via Panama -- and if so did
immigration authorities demand a yellow fever vaccination?

Thanks!

Welcome to Central/South America where they don't even know their own
rules.
I have crossed 15 borders down here (incl Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil
(from Paraguay), Panama, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina) by car and by
plane and I have never been asked to show the international
certificate of vaccination a single time.

We were "advised" on getting vaccinations and the "little yellow booklet"
by our local tropical diseases doctors (I wasn't going to argue with them)
, saying that we would be "required to show the vaccination cert booklet" when we
entered some countries.

When we actually got there this did not happen, once, and we did pass a few borders.

Its a weigh-up situation-how is the disease transmitted? Is it nasty? How much does the vaccination
cost? Yellow fever is trasnmitted by infected mozzies. You'll be putting your trust in the insect control
of the Panama airport
