Haiti receives first shipments of cholera vaccines: WHO
Published on: Tuesday 13 December 2022
Haiti has received more than 1 million doses of oral cholera vaccines as it battles a worsening cholera outbreak that has been particularly deadly for children, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday. Cholera reemerged in the Caribbean island nation in early October after around three years without reported cases, and so far 280 people have died. The health crisis has come amid shortages of food and clean drinking water triggered by a gang blockade of its main fuel port.
