New York — The largest-ever mass vaccination campaign to protect people from yellow fever disease will begin next week across three West African countries, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced.
The week-long UN-supported initiative is slated to target nearly 12 million people across Benin, Liberia and Sierra Leone and all countries at high risk of yellow fever outbreak.
The 13 highest-risk countries in Africa are Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, Sierra-Leone and Togo.
Local health teams will administer the vaccine, as well as offer a pack of preemptive measures, including vitamin A, deworming tablets and, in Sierra Leone, measles vaccine.
"High vaccination coverage will prevent outbreak of yellow fever, a disease that is very difficult to diagnose in the early stages of infection," said WHO Epidemic Readiness and Intervention Unit Coordinator, William Perea.
"A single dose of the vaccine offers full protection," noted Dr. Perea, adding that he hoped the vaccination campaign would be carried out throughout all high risk African countries by 2015.
With help from a $103 million donation from the GAVI Alliance - a vaccine-financing partnership that includes WHO, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), World Bank and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a total of 29 million people have been protected through mass vaccination programmes since 2007 conducted in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mali, Senegal and Togo, as well as a first phase completed in Sierra Leone.
The Director of WHO's Department of Immunisation, Vaccines and Biologicals, Jean-Marie Okwo-Bele, stated that 37 countries in Africa and America had introduced yellow fever vaccine in their routine childhood immunisation a decade ago, adding that 160 million people could still be at risk in Africa if further funding is not secured for the emergency stockpile and preventive vaccine in remaining high-risk countries.
"Yellow fever is reappearing in countries that have not reported cases in many years," said Fenella Avokey, WHO African Regional Office Medical Officer for Yellow Fever Control.
"We must finish the job that we started to sustain the gains achieved so far," said UNICEF Senior Health Specialist Edward Hoekstra.
"Children and adults in West and Central Africa are unnecessarily affected by yellow fever when one dose of vaccine would prevent them from getting the disease at all."
