[Correspondence] Yellow fever vaccination coverage in French Guiana

We read the Article by Freya M Shearer and colleagues1 about global yellow fever vaccination coverage and the associated Comment by Annelies Wilder-Smith2 with great interest. We acknowledge the authors' effort to update the current situation on this important issue. However, we cannot agree that most of the French Guianan population need to be vaccinated against this disease (ie, 200  000 people of a total population of 262 527, according to official estimates).3
