Yellow fever certificate

The Bolivian Government announced on 24 June that foreigners entering areas which had been designated "high risk" for yellow fever would need a valid yellow fever certificate.  These areas include all of the regions of Santa Cruz, Pando and Beni, and much of Cochabamba, Tarija and northern La Paz departments.  The highland region of the country, including the cities of La Paz, Potosi and Oruro, Lake Titicaca and the Salar de Uyuni, is not affected.
