April 2023: Mozambique started an anti-cholera outbreak response vaccination drive

Mozambique started an anti-cholera outbreak response vaccination drive in Quelimane in early April, targeting 410,000 people. While the country launched a nationwide campaign in February, Cyclone Freddy damaged 163 health facilities and displaced some 184,000 people across the country, increasing cholera cases. Mozambique also plans to launch a revised National Cholera Plan to address major areas for cholera elimination, including water and sanitation, healthcare services and management, epidemiology and surveillance and health and hygiene promotion.
