We are planning a cruise from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, followed by a week in Buenos Aires, a few days in Rio de Janeiro and a week in Sao Paulo.

What shots do we need to get?

Since the outbreak of yellow fever in Brazil and Paraguay in January/February 2008, it is recommended that all visitors to Argentina including regions bordering these countries, including Iguazu Falls, be inoculated against yellow fever.
A hepatitis A vaccination is recommended before travel to Argentina as well as a typhoid vaccination for those who might eat or drink outside major restaurants and hotels.
Outbreaks of dengue fever are on the increase, and visitors are advised to avoid getting mosquito bites as there is no effective treatment for it.
In Brazil, mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever and malaria are prevalent. Insect repellent and protective clothing is essential.

I am going to Brazil shortly. I might add you may as well get Trimtrix A and B, they come in the same shot. As Claire said above 'Yellow Fever' is essential.
I also received Tetanus, Polio and Typhoid vaccines. See a reputable travel medicine clinic and they will provide a lot of helpful advice. Remember you do not need every shot under the sun, just the ones that pertain to your travel itinerary.

CHECK YOUR YELLOW CARD BEFORE YOU GO AND PAY TO GET THESE VACCINATIONS. I HAD TRAVELED TO ASIA THREE YEARS BEFORE I WENT TO BRAZIL AND SOME OF MY VACINATIONS WERE NOT CURRENT.
