Yellow fever vaccination campaign starts in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo

The biggest emergency yellow fever vaccination campaign ever held in Africa was launched in the city of Kinshasa in Democratic Republic of the Congo this week. With high risk of transmission of the mosquito-borne disease in this densely populated city, the vaccination campaign aims to protect as many people as possible and stop the outbreak before the rainy season begins in late September.
