KINSHASA, Congo — The World Health Organization and its partners shipped more than 6 million yellow fever vaccines to Angola in February to quash an emerging epidemic, yet when they asked country officials the following month what happened to the vaccines , they discovered that about 1 million doses had mysteriously disappeared. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been accused of mismanagement after more than a million doses of yellow fever vaccine, out of a total of six million, disappeared from shipments​ to Angola amid the biggest epidemic of the disease in decades. In addition, some vaccines were sent to uninfected areas and others arrived without syringes or weren't kept cold enough for effective use. A WHO spokesperson said that it was investigating how the vaccine had gone missing.
