The global health community is facing an increased risk of urban outbreaks of yellow fever (YF). The risk of international spread, YF’s changing epidemiology and resurgence of mosquitoes pose an emerging global threat that requires new strategic thinking.
This document describes the reasoning behind and need for an updated, long-term (2017-2026) and global strategy to “Eliminate Yellow fever Epidemics” (EYE). The strategy includes three strategic objectives: (1) protect at-risk populations, (2) prevent international spread and (3) contain outbreaks rapidly.
The document is intended to be used at national, regional and global level by partners, donors, public health officers, national health authorities, and technical or non-technical experts seeking an overview of the EYE strategy.
