Cholera Vaccine Shortage to Continue Through 2025


As a wave of cholera outbreaks spreads around the world, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance said it expects the global shortage of oral cholera vaccines to continue until the end of 2025.

Supply of oral cholera vaccines for preventative use could catch up to demand by 2026, but “urgent action is needed,” according to a vaccine production roadmap published by Gavi, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other global health partners on Monday.

There are currently still enough vaccine supplies to respond to emergencies, Gavi said
