Many wonder if it is necessary to be vaccinated against yellow fever to go to the United States. Relax, there is no need.
Do not forget that it is only required if you actually enter the country, through immigration, which is not the case when only a stopover or connection is made. There are Copa Airlines flights to the US with stops in Panama. Tocumen airport has a "common area" for connections that encompasses all boarding gates, if you do not leave this area, there is no need for the vaccine, you only need the vaccine if you actually leave this area of ​​gates (that is, if pass through Panamanian immigration).

If you are going to be vaccinated, remember that you should take the vaccine ten days before you travel and that people who have been immunized for more than 10 years should take a booster dose because the vaccine is only 10 years old ; and should also carry the International Vaccination Card.
