    Yellow fever is a virus spread by mosquitos in Central and South America and parts of Africa. From December 2015 to February 2017, there was a major yellow fever outbreak in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo that infected over 30 million people and spread to hard to reach areas before vaccinations helped contain it. Brazil may now face its own yellow fever outbreak because it sent many of its vaccines to Angola and the DRC, leaving itself less protected.

    History of Yellow Fever Outbreak

    Luke Powell 1st

    Yellow fever is a virus that is spread by mosquitos that pass it on through


    biting humans, monkeys, and other animals. Mosquitos thrive near the equator, in
    Central and South America, like Brazil and Africa, such as Nigeria, Cameroon, and
    Congo. In between December 5th,
    2015 to February 14th, 2017, there was
    a yellow fever outbreak that originated
    in Angola, and spread to Democratic
    Republic of Congo (DRC). More than
    30 million people were given
    emergency vaccinations to protect
    them from the virus. In order to
    eradicate the virus, they had to contain
    the yellow fever from small, hard to
    reach areas. To help these areas recover, many countries sent a portion of their
    vaccinations to Angola and DRC. Brazil is now in the beginning stages of a yellow
    fever outbreak because they sent too many of their vaccines to Angola and they
    dont have enough left to give to their own people.
