Declarations

:

: This evaluation was done to inform public health practice and therefore determined as non-research. The Ministry of Health Public Health Emergency Operations Centre, the custodian of the YF surveillance data, granted administrative clearance for accessing and using the data in the YF database for this assessment. The Office of the Center for Global Health, US Center for Disease Control and Prevention determined that this activity was not human subject research and its primary intent was for public health practice or disease control. We sought administrative clearance from the sentinel site health facilities to use the data. We obtained verbal informed consent from interviewees including key stakeholders at the Uganda Virus Research Institute, Ministry of Health, sentinel site health facilities, and non-sentinel site health facilities facility staff before data collection using a consent form. Data held on computers were encrypted with a password which was made available to the evaluation team. This activity was reviewed by the CDC and was conducted consistent with applicable federal law and CDC policy.§ §See e.g., 45 C.F.R. part 46, 21 C.F.R. part 56; 42 U.S.C. § 241(d); 5 U.S.C. § 552a; 44 U.S.C. § 3501 et seq.
