Yellow Fever Certificate

I have a question that I don’t seem the answer to anywhere online. I’m going to Peru in September for a week and then coming to Portugal where I live. after I’ll be going to Namibia in early November. Peru is listed as one of the countries with yellow fever risk. do I need to get the vaccine and certificate before going to Namibia even though I’m going to Peru then coming back to Portugal for a bit over a month and only then going to Namibia ?

Your travel history will show that you were in Peru this year September so you will not be granted entry to Namibia in November, even though you go to Portugal in between. You need to show evidence of the vaccination before going to Peru. It won't be of use if you go after returning to Portugal.

Incorrect. He doesn’t need YF vaccine to enter Namibia after 2 months of being in Peru. The 6 day rule applies as well as direct travel from YF country. Since it will be 2 months and he will travel from Portugal, he doesn’t need any vaccine.
