Juba - Cholera Vaccination

On Wednesday 27 July, MSF launched a targeted vaccination campaign to protect high risk groups of people in Juba against Cholera and to bring the outbreak to an end as quickly as possible.
The first phase of the campaign covered 4,000 people living at the Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Tomping. In the coming days, people who have been in close contact with those who have Cholera and health workers caring for affected patients will also be vaccinated.
In Tomping camp, six suspected Cholera cases have so far been reported, which, together with the living conditions at the camp, leaves its residents at a higher risk of contracting the disease. More than 230 cases of Cholera have so far been recorded in the capital.
