Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s health authorities will begin a cholera vaccination campaign on Monday in nine districts, the most affected by the current outbreak of the disease, and expect to reach more than 2.2 million people in five days.<\/p>\n

According to information released today by the National Directorate of Public Health, this campaign is aimed at the population aged one year and over and will be carried out in the districts of Chiu\u0301re and Montepuez (Cabo Delgado province), Gile\u0301, Gurue\u0301 and Mocuba (Zambe\u0301zia), Ma\u0301goe, Moatize and Zumbo (Tete) and Maringue (Sofala).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country is responding to the worsening outbreak that has been going on since October 2023,\u201d the National Directorate of Public Health said.<\/p>\n

According to the most recent data, from 1 October 2023 to 2 January 2024, Mozambique recorded a total of 8,266 cases of cholera and 20 deaths in six provinces, which corresponds to a lethality rate of 0.2%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe four provinces selected are home to the most critical districts in this resurgence of the outbreak in the country,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe target group for this intervention is 2,271,136 people, corresponding to the population living in the most vulnerable and hotspot areas for the current outbreak,\u201d the same information states.<\/p>\n

It added that \u201cin order for the campaign to run smoothly and the objectives to be achieved\u201d, 1,136 teams have been mobilised for this operation, with 7,337 members, including vaccinators, mobilisers, registrars, supervisors, coordinators, data entry clerks, logisticians and drivers, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, around 1.3 million US dollars have been mobilised to carry out the campaign. This amount includes funds from the government and cooperation partners,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The campaign will be carried out at fixed posts in health centres and using mobile brigades in previously established locations with a high concentration of people, such as markets, football grounds, rallies, administrative offices, localities and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, whenever justified, the door-to-door strategy will be adopted,\u201d says the National Directorate of Public Health, adding that \u201cto avoid duplication or failures and allow for a better post-campaign evaluation\u201d, vaccinated people will receive a card \u201cas proof of vaccination and they will have to keep it\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the National Directorate of Public Health, this is a \u201csafe and effective\u201d oral vaccine, which is easy to take but \u201cdoes not replace other preventative measures\u201d and is \u201conly complementary\u201d to individual and collective hygiene measures or the consumption of boiled or purified water.<\/p>\n
