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.
