Uganda has recently launched a comprehensive yellow fever vaccination campaign aimed at protecting its population from the mosquito-borne disease that has posed a significant threat for years. The campaign, which targeted 14 million individuals, successfully vaccinated 12.2 million people by the end of April. This initiative comes as part of Uganda's efforts to combat yellow fever and ensure public health safety.
As a new international health regulation, Uganda now mandates that all travelers entering or leaving the country must possess a yellow fever vaccination card. This requirement is intended to encourage more individuals to receive the yellow fever shot, especially amidst concerns of vaccine hesitancy within the nation's healthcare system.
