WHO | Preventive campaign against yellow fever launched in 10 high risk districts in Ghana (421 words)
Ghana recently launched a preventive campaign against yellow fever in 10 high risk districts of the country. Vaccines have been received which are enough for 10 districts so further prioritization was made to implement the preventive campaign for the moment, while appeal for the vaccine to cater for the 16 others targeted for the campaign is being awaited. Ghana lies in the yellow fever zone where occasionally outbreaks of yellow fever have occurred.
