Uganda has rolled out a nationwide yellow fever vaccination campaign to help safeguard its population against the mosquito-borne disease that has long posed a threat.

A man receives a shot of yellow fever vaccine at Kiswa Health Center III in Kampala, Uganda Tuesday, April. 2, 2024. –

The single-dose vaccine has been offered free of charge to Ugandans between the ages of 1 and 60. Vaccination centers in the capital, Kampala, and elsewhere included schools, universities, hospitals and local government units. Uganda's most recent outbreak was reported earlier this year in the central districts of Buikwe and Buvuma.

A midterm evaluation of that strategy, whose results were published last year, found that 185 million people in high-risk African countries had been vaccinated by August 2022.
