WHO (The World Health Organisation) has updated its warning on the deadly outbreak of Yellow Fever spreading across Angola, advising travellers to the country to be vaccinated; so far around 260 people have died and there are nearly two thousand suspected cases of the disease. This latest outbreak has already become the worst in decades, with the The World Health Organisation stating it could be a "threat to the entire world." As we have been previously warning, the world is ill-prepared to fight two mosquito-borne epidemics at once (the other being the Zika Virus),and the Yellow Fever outbreak has already consumed the The World Health Organisation's emergency stockpile of the vaccine; there are now calls for a radical switch in strategy to use a tenth of the normal dose in a bid to cover more people.
