GIG-PTY: Over 60s Exempt from Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirement?
Another geezer couple and we are disembarking from a transatlantic cruise in Rio de Janeiro this December and planning to fly GIG-PTY on Copa to stay for a couple of days before flying home. Copa’s website states that travelers over 60 are exempt from the requirement to show proof of yellow fever vaccination on that route.
So far I can’t find any official confirmation of this despite several hours hunched over my keyboard. The most recent FT discussion here is some months old and makes no mention of exemptions.
Having read along the way one or two horror stories of passengers being turned back, or stranded within a country over the vaccination issue, I’m wondering if anybody can point me toward official word on this from the Panamanian government.
