I am beginning the process, applying for a retiree resident status. I am reading lots of vague things about inoculations; yellow fever, Hep A & B, etc. I'd feel like a pin cushion if I did that, not to mention probably being DOA. Q 1: Are there any shots one MUST have before entering Ecuador? I have a recovering immune system and I don't have any shots. They stress out my immune systerm. That would be a deal breaker for my plans. I have tried the Canadian system, Australian system ... COVID is over-riding any useful information. Q 2: I would like to live in Loja. I would like to be in a cooler climate, at lower altitude than Cuenca. I have a spattering of Spanish, but I would like to learn the language. That and altitude sickness concerns. See above: recovering immune system. Thank you for any info you might be able to share. Chey
