I don't believe any vaccinations are required. There is Yellow Fever in Brazil, but vaccination is only required if you are traveling from a Yellow Fever endemic area.... not Europe. When we went to Brazil from the US, no one checked our vaccination records.
Here is the US Center for Disease Control site for recommended vaccinations for tropical South America: http://www2.ncid.cdc.gov/travel/yb/utils/ybGet.asp?section=YBAll&cssNav=browseoyb
Check with your national health service for their recommendations or a travel medicine doctor to make sure.
Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! http://www.mousetourstravels.com/international-travel-health-vaccinations.html

Twinrix. If your going to a malaria area, skip Mefloquine (brand name Lariam ⢠and generic) and try something else.
