Abstract
Objective: To describe, through an integrative literature review, aspects of the occurrence of yellow fever in Brazil from 2014 to 2018. Methods: A survey of articles was carried out in the period from 2014 to 2018, obtained in EBSCO containing the databases MEDLINE , Academic Search Elite, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Engineering Source, and other such bases; National Library of Medicine of the USA (PubMed - NCBI), Virtual Health Library (VHL), PlosOne, Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), in September 2018, using the descriptors: Yellow Fever, prevention, epidemiology, vaccine, and Brazil. Results: The final sample consisted of (12) articles, (2) they talked about yellow fever control, (4) epidemiological aspects and (6) immunization. The relationship between yellow fever incidence and climatic factors, diversity of non-human primate hosts and low vaccination coverage is evidenced. Conclusion: Deficient vaccination coverage in areas of risk and failure of information and outbreak description by epidemiological bulletins favors the increase of disease occurrence in the period analyzed.
