NEW YORK: Some 30,000 people die from yellow fever each year
Thirteen African nations are said to be at high risk of outbreaks of yellow fever, which can kill if untreated.
Yellow fever is spread through infected mosquitoes and has a wide array of symptoms from nausea and vomiting to kidney failure, jaundice and bleeding.
Local health staff in the target countries will vaccinate nearly 12 million people, as well as giving out vitamin A and de-worming tablets.
