A grant has made it possible to immunize people for yellow fever in West Africa over the next four years.
Yellow fever can include high fever, vomiting and bleeding from the mouth, nose, and eyes.
The $58 million grant from the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) will support vaccinations against yellow fever in the region.
The grant will also build a stockpile of 11 million doses of the vaccine to prevent outbreaks and manage epidemics.
