Description

By 2026, the EYE Strategy aims to have ended yellow fever epidemics, and to have protected up to a billion people in Africa and the Americas with preventative yellow fever vaccinations. This is allied with a broader vaccination framework: Immunization Agenda 2030. In this episode, WHO Director of the Department of Immunisations, Vaccines and Biologicals, Dr Kate O’Brien sets out the priorities of two strategies, and how they jointly make a global impact.

Yellow fever is one of the world’s most deadly diseases. If you think it’s a disease that can only be found in tropical climates, think again. Even with a single shot vaccine, the risk of outbreaks of yellow fever is significant and growing globally. EYE on Yellow Fever is a ten-part series that takes you inside a concerted global effort to ensure that yellow fever does not become the next big global health threat. EYE on Yellow Fever is a series by the Eliminate Yellow Fever Epidemics (EYE) Strategy, which operates in 40 countries with over 50 partners, including the World Health Organization, Gavi - the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF, the US Centre for Disease Control and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
