Mozambique launched a five-day vaccination campaign against cholera on February 27, targeting 720,000 people ages 1 and older in eight districts. Health workers administered oral cholera vaccines in health centers, through mobile teams, and door to door—in the midst of tropical storms and severe floods. Water quality and sanitation improvements were planned in conjunction with the effort. The country has recorded about 5,260 cases of cholera since September. WHO Mozambique; ReliefWeb
