Overview

  • CVE-SP, which confirmed three new cases on Wednesday, put the 2026 total at six with three deaths.
  • The latest confirmations include two men, 56 and 53, from Lagoinha who died, and a 43-year-old from Araçariguama who recovered.
  • The year's first cases were a death in Cunha and two recoveries in Cruzeiro, and none of the six patients had a vaccination record.
  • SES-SP is pressing vaccination as the main protection, offering free doses at public clinics and hosting a Friday seminar to help clinicians tell yellow fever from dengue.
  • Lagoinha launched a Saturday vaccination drive after the two deaths, reporting only 37.72% coverage and extending hours to reach rural residents.
