NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A global shortage of cholera vaccines has lead to the temporary suspension of the two-dose vaccine strategy.
The World Health Organization’s International Coordinating Group, which manages emergency supplies of vaccines, making the call to use a single-dose approach.
They say the pivot in strategy will allow for the doses to be used in more countries, at a time of an unprecedented rise in cholera outbreaks worldwide.
Since January, 29 countries have reported cholera cases, including Haiti, Malawi and Syria which are facing large outbreaks.
That’s compared to what has been reported in the previous five years, when fewer than 20 countries on average reported outbreaks.
As for what led to the shortage, Dr. Ryan says there are a number of factors.
