In response to cases of yellow fever in northern Togo, WHO and the Ministry of Health carried out a mass vaccination campaign in February 2007. During the campaign, about 1.3 million people were vaccinated.
This was the first of many vaccination campaigns supported by the newly-established Yellow Fever Initiative.
This photo story shows how the campaign, which was implemented along with several partner agencies in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, was planned and successfully carried out.
