Suriname Country Profile: Yellow Fever

Abstract

Yellow fever is endemic in several Latin American countries. In order to support decision-makers in prioritizing preventive actions against this disease, the Pan American Health Organization presents these country profiles with a concise and comprehensive selection of data from endemic countries. Each profile provides an analysis of the country's current situation, ecological and climatic factors associated with the disease, vector distribution and incidence, and key arboviral activity. It also includes a historical perspective of the epidemiology and a summary of the status of vaccination against the disease in the country.
