Abstract:
In 1934, Dr. Sawyer made another trip to Brazil to inspect yellow fever control activities, including an investigation of a puzzling outbreak of the disease in a rural region. The Yellow Fever Service was run collaboratively by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Brazilian government. As part of this campaign, the RF also helped support training of public health nurses.
