The State Department recommends reconsidering travel here; read the country page and check whether your specific destination falls in a higher-risk zone.

Bring a Yellow Fever certificate for Trinidad and Tobago (TT)

INFO

Because you're flying in from Burkina Faso (BF), Trinidad and Tobago (TT)'s entry rules require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. The standard document is the yellow WHO Yellow Card (ICVP) signed by the clinic that vaccinated you. If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasons a physician-signed exemption letter is the alternative — both check-in agents and border officers vary in how strictly they accept exemptions, so plan for the strictest reading. Add your YF status to your profile for guidance specific to your situation.
