January 2021: Guyana to launch final round of multiyear MDA against LF

Aiming to be declared filaria-free in 2021, Guyana will launch its fourth and final round of a multiyear mass drug administration event against lymphatic filariasis in February—following postponement in 2020 due to Covid-19—distributing ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine, and albendazole (IDA) door-to-door to people two years and older in the country’s eight endemic regions. Guyana Department of Public Information; Guyana Chronicle; PAHO
