I think the issue with the vaccinations on leaving have to do with the country of destination. So if you are planning on ever leaving once you get there, make sure you are flying to a country that doesnt mandate vaccinated passengers from Ecuador (They said it was because of Yellow Fever, but the only Yellow Fever outbreak at the time was in southern Peru and Chile)
Interesting. So, basically, you were required to have a Yellow Fever vaccination before returning to the US? Do you think that was the only vaccination they required/needed evidence of?

Thanks for your help, btw.
