Cholera Vaccination Campaign Starts in Northwest Syria


Syrian medics launched Tuesday the first cholera vaccination campaign in the opposition-held northwest since a deadly outbreak began in September, amid increased fears of contagion after last month’s devastating earthquake, AFP reported.

The World Health Organization and UNICEF sent 1.7 million cholera vaccines to northwest Syria in January in preparation for the inoculation campaign.
