Your comment made me think of an article I saw yesterday, Mass Yellow Fever Vaccination Under Way in Brazil, Nigeria which said

The WHO reports the mass immunization campaign launched in Brazil will deliver so-called fractional doses of yellow fever to nearly 24 million people in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

It links to the WHO report Yellow fever – Brazil - Disease outbreak news 22 January 2018

I also saw this old US government film on the subject and I thought I'd share
The Silent War: Colombia's Fight Against Yellow Fever (Documentary Film Productions, 1943)

Another side note about who was behind this vaccine campaign and the serious health issues that came about because of it.

The outbreak of World War II created new and huge demands for vaccine. An epidemic of yellow fever near the North African War zones early in the conflict made clear the vulnerability of the troops. In the United States, the vaccine was given to virtually all recruits. Between January 1941 and April 10, 1942, an astounding 7 million doses were distributed, all manufactured by the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Institute, at no charge. A strain in use in Colombia was employed, since more than 600,000 doses had been given there without serious complications, but with serum still used as a stabilizer. Eventually, 26,771 cases of jaundice, occurring 60 to 150 days after vaccination, were reported in U.S. personnel [53], and thousands more almost certainly occurred [54]. General Joseph Stilwell was among them [55]. There was a mortality of about three per 1,000 cases (the outbreak was later shown to be due to hepatitis B). The response of the press was generally quiet, perhaps recognizing the exigencies of war, but the Chicago Tribune reacted with some outrage, noting that 20 times as many soldiers had fallen victim to the vaccine as had been wounded thus far in the war. The paper called for an investigation, claiming inadequate testing and questioning the need for all soldiers to receive the vaccine [56].

Wow, great link! People should really go look at that. @corbettreport, you could do Rockefeller Medicine part 2.
