The Search for the Yellow Fever Vaccine

NOTE: Still catching up on entries…

At some point, I went looking for a $160 vaccine that, due to the generosity of the Argentine government, I received for FREE.

That’s right. If you’re coming to Argentina, don’t get your yellow fever vaccine in the States. Do it here. With your passport, you don’t pay a cent.

That doesn’t mean you get off the hook easily, though.

A friend and I spent three to four hours navigating the city for the clinic. It was pretty nuts. The gov’t definitely goes out of its way to make sure as few people receive the service as possible (or at least it seems that way).

But anyway, we did find it in the end after much struggling, and it felt like an accomplishment.

Then again, we could just be really incompetent, but we can’t be the first ones to spend so long searching for the place…
