Millions seek shots in Brazil yellow fever scare

BRASILIA, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Brazilian officials on Tuesday confirmed that a third person had died of yellow fever this year as millions of people, fearing a resurgence of the deadly disease, lined up at hospitals and clinics to get vaccinated.

The latest death, in the southern state of Parana, followed the death of a man in the capital Brasilia last week that prompted concerns yellow fever could swamp urban centers, from which it has been eradicated since the 1940s.
