Re: [103attendees] Update on IETF 103 visa information

[Michael StJohns <[e-mail]>]

See 
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever-malaria-information-by-country/argentina#seldyfm879

Basically,

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever#5291 
lists argentina with a footnote:

^2 These countries are not holoendemic (only a portion of the country 
has risk of yellow fever transmission). See Maps 3-14 
<https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever#5302> 
and 3-15 
<https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever#5303> 
and yellow fever vaccine recommendations (Yellow Fever & Malaria 
Information, by Country 
<https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever-malaria-information-by-country>) 
for details.

If you haven't been in these areas, you can probably ignore the 
requirement.

AFAICT, all of the countries we've gone to/are scheduled to go to follow 
WHO recommendations with respect to vaccines and that's what the CDC 
website appears to be describing.
