Even with the vaccination campaign in effect a year and a half ago, nearly 3 million people have not yet been vaccinated against yellow fever in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Alexander Chieppe, superintendent of state health surveillance, said the 84 deaths that occurred in 2018 were already troubling.
"We are talking about a very serious illness, with a lethality approaching 40 %.Unfortunately, four of the 10 people who contract the disease have died.This is therefore a very deadly disease," said Chieppe.
"We still have, mainly in the metropolitan area of the state, a large number of people who have not yet been vaccinated.Le leveraged coverage is the main challenge facing the Approach to the time of year that presents the greatest risk of transmission, "said the Superintendent.
Still according to Alexander Chieppe, the main concern is that the disease is not transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti
"There are two major problems of yellow fever: we have wild yellow fever, but we fear that it is not transmitted by Aedes Aegypti. The more people are vaccinated, the less likely it will be. "
