Launch of Yellow Fever Mass Preventative Campaign

Launch of Yellow Fever Mass Preventative Campaign

On 08/06/2023, we launched the Yellow Fever Mass Preventative Campaign in Lira City targeting 9 months to 60 year olds. Under phase I, the campaign will take place in the regions of Kabala, Kabarole, Arua, Hoima, Gulu and Lira. The vaccines offer lifelong protection.

Uganda is a high-risk country for yellow fever transmission due to less than 10% of the population being immunized against it, with sporadic outbreaks occurring every three to five years.

Thank you to all our partners for supporting this campaign and ensuring protection of the communities against vaccine preventative diseases.
