Pre-emptive and reactive cholera vaccination are<br />

recommended by WHO for outbreak control<br />

• Pre-emptive vaccination should be used to prevent potential<br />

outbreaks and contain actual outbreaks,<br />

targeting at-risk groups<br />

» During complex emergencies that compromise water<br />

and sanitation<br />

» When neighboring regions experience an outbreak<br />

» When disease incidence increases in an endemic region<br />

• Reactive vaccination should be considered, depending on local<br />

factors<br />

• Vaccination for outbreak control must achieve<br />

high population coverage<br />

• Vaccination should be in conjunction with treatment, provision of<br />

clean water, and improved sanitation<br />
