Vaccination requirements for transit through Brazil
Hello, is it ok for unvaccinated to transit through Brazil? Have to go through immigration in Sao Paulo and get bag and check it again.
Was okay to do this in Madrid and it was fine.
Anyone know about Brazil?

I believe all requirements to enter Brasil apply for transit as well.

Looks like not needed if you stay in the restricted area and don't go through immigration.
1) Comprovante de teste negativo ou não detectável para Covid-19
teste de antígeno (realizado em até 24 horas anteriores ao momento do embarque); ou
teste laboratorial RT-PCR (realizado em até 72 horas anteriores ao momento do embarque).
No caso de voo com conexões ou escalas em que o viajante saia da área restrita do aeroporto e/ou realize migração, e que ultrapasse as 72 horas desde a realização do teste RT-PCR ou as 24 horas do teste de antígeno, o viajante deverá apresentar documento comprobatório da realização de novo teste.

But if you go through immigration, you aren't transiting. You're entering the country just leaving quickly. Normal entry rules will apply.

Spain is part of Schengen, where you pass through immigration at the point of entry even though you are continuing on to another country within the Schengen zone. For Brazil, if you're transiting to another international destination, you don't go through immigration. If you pass through immigration, you are entering Brazil. I'm honestly curious why you are entering Brazil if transiting to another international destination. Is it because you are on two separate tickets with checked luggage?

With two tickets, the carrier on the first ticket probably won't view it as transit even if you didn't have to leave the immigration area.
