says:

"No vaccination certificate has to be submitted, except for cholera and
yellow fever for passengers coming from countries where those diseases are
endemic."

I could find no authoritative list of the countries, however, I think the
list would include Brasil, Paraguay and Bolivia.

So, it looks like you need a vaccination certificate. I suggest you contact
the argentinian embassy if you want to be sure.
