Three outbreaks occurred in the last five years and it was observed that mortality was often confined to the initial half of the outbreak period and healthcare personnel were the major patients in the first half. Between 2009 and 2019, the monthly incidence ranged between 0 and 14.5 per 100,000 population. Univariate negative binomial regression analysis of the influenza incidence with the local weather parameters demonstrated that absolute humidity, relative humidity, insolation and rainfall were associated. On multivariate regression analysis, absolute humidity (IRR: 1.37, 95%

using a pretested questionnaire. Personal and food risk factors for Yf were assessed. An observational checklist was applied to respondents' houses to assess housing and environmental risk. Data analysis was done using chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. Statistical significance was set as p < 0.05. Ethical considerations were addressed.Results: Two hundred and thirty-four (97.5%) had ever heard of yellow fever, with 42 (17.5%) having poor knowledge and 198 (82.5%) good knowledge. Two hundred and thirty-four (97.5%) were aware of the Yf vaccine. In multivariate analysis, occupation was significantly associated with knowledge of Yf (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.51, 95% CI [0.33-0.78]. Majority, 225 (93.8%) had good attitude towards Yf prevention. Attitude was not associated with any demographic variable. One hundred and forty-nine (62.1%) were not sure of the vaccination status of household members. Personal risk factors included non-ownership of bed net 123 (51.2%), poor or non-use of bed net among those who owned one, 73 (62.9%) and infrequent covering of arms and legs when outdoors, 168 (70.0%). Prevalence of household risk factors included over-grown bushes near dwelling 70 (30.0%), un-netted windows, 29 (12.1%), uncovered water storage container 4 (1.7%). Seventeen (7.1%) respondents did not regularly spray their houses with insecticides. Thirty-four (14.2%) households farmed at the outskirts of the community. Conclusion:Although knowledge and attitude towards Yf was high, intensified health education and behavioural change communication are necessary to reduce risk practices.
