To my knowledge there are no required shots to visit
South America unless you are going to certain parts of the rain forest. I suggest that you get a list of the shots that you need and then call your nearest neighborhood clinic and ask. That should do the trick.
Good luck,
Mr. M on "shots."

Hello!
I've traveled to South America a couple of times and have never needed shots. But I do agree with Mr. M in that you might need some if you are going to the rainforest or a place like that. I would contact the consulate or embassy and ask if you need them to where you are going. They will provide you with more accurate information and refer you to a clinic.
Good luck and happy traveling!

As the others said, I don't think there are any required immunizations, unless you are traveling to the jungle. Go the following CDC website for specific information on your destination:
http://www.cdc.gov/travel/vaccinat.htm
Nearly all immunizations are available in most hospitals and clinics. Call ahead to confirm they have what you need. Malaria prophalaxis is a prescription that can be filled in any pharmacy.
