Nigeria recorded four confirmed yellow fever cases, including one death, in the latest figures compiled by the World Health Organization as of October 12, 2026.
In its November 6 update, WHO reported 67 confirmed cases and 18 deaths across nine African countries between January 1 and October 12. Those figures are regional totals. WHO says individual countries’ reporting dates differ.
The most recent outbreak activity was concentrated in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Liberia. WHO said it had not established epidemiological links between the events, although some affected areas are close to international borders.
Yellow fever spreads through infected mosquitoes. WHO says vaccination is the most effective way to prevent it, and health authorities and partners are strengthening surveillance and investigating cases in affected areas.
