NPR: WHO Calls for Emergency Stockpile of Cholera Vaccine

By Richard Knox in NPR

Dr. Louise Ivers of Partners In Health, which sponsored one of the Haitian demonstration projects, told Shots in an email that the organization is gratified that WHO has decided to include vaccination in the toolkit of anti-cholera measures. "While currently available cholera vaccines are not golden tickets, we must move quickly to save as many lives as we can with the tools that are available to us now," Ivers said.
