这是合作伙伴首次在人口稠密的城市环境中处置规模如此之大的黄热病疫情。
This is the first time partners have had to manage such a large outbreak of yellow fever in a dense, urban setting.
As both Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola are endemic for yellow fever, sporadic cases have simultaneously occurred in remote, rural areas, adding to the existing logistical challenges.
This includes ensuring that people in hard-to-reach areas have access to vaccination as well as creating infrastructure to keep vaccines at the right temperature until they are administered.

全球逾42个国家存在黄热病流行,且会定期发生疫情。
More than 42 countries in the world are endemic for yellow fever and regularly experience outbreaks.
However, transmission in 2016 has been explosive and rapidly exhausted the usual global emergency stockpile of 6 million vaccine doses managed by the International Coordinating Group (ICG) on Vaccine Provision (WHO, UNICEF, MSF and IFRC).
However, the collaboration of partners including Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, the ICG partnership, and manufacturers, has enabled countries affected by the current outbreak to access almost 19 million doses of the yellow fever vaccine since January.
