South America:

Malaria: Only risk in northern rural areas of Argentina close to Bolivia and Paraguay.

Hepatitis A or immune globulin: Recommended for travel to this region.

Typhoid: Recommended for less developed countries in this region.


Yellow Fever: Only in Argentina, and if you are traveling outside urban areas there.

Hepatitis B: For unprotected infants and children up to age 12.

A lot of diseases to watch out. ... I'm thinking about traveling to this region sometime next year.
