Yellow fever in the Region of the Americas: Vaccine reserve stockpile management (26 May 2022)
Other Language Versions
Abstract
In 2022, as of epidemiological week (EW) 18, confirmed cases of yellow fever have been reported in three countries in the Region: Bolivia (5 confirmed cases), Brazil (3 confirmed cases), and Peru (2 confirmed cases).
The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) encourages Member States with risk areas for yellow fever to continue their efforts to strengthen surveillance in yellow fever endemic areas, in addition to immunizing the at-risk population and taking the necessary actions to keep them informed and vaccinate travelers going to areas where yellow fever vaccination is recommended. Similarly, PAHO/WHO recommends for Member States to have vaccine reserve stockpile, depending on the availability of vaccines in the country, which will allow for responding to potential outbreaks.
