Changes in the way humans live and work, and the resurgence of mosquito vectors, particularly the aedes aegypti mosquito (which spreads Zika, dengue fever and chikungunya), have raised the global risk of yellow fever. Two large yellow fever outbreaks- in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo are now under control but these are just warnings of bigger outbreaks to come if action is not taken. A coalition of partners working to stop yellow fever outbreaks met in Geneva on September 12 to develop a new strategy - Eliminating Yellow fever Epidemics (EYE). This strategy aims to protect the populations most at risk, ensure a ready supply of yellow fever vaccine, build resilience in urban centres and prevent international spread.
