On Tuesday, Zambia commenced the administration of the oral cholera vaccine in the shanty compounds of Lusaka, the country’s capital, most affected by the current outbreak.
The vaccine will also be given to health workers who have been at the forefront of the fight against cholera.
The minister, however, emphasized the need to maintain hygiene, adding that the government is doing everything possible to fight cholera, such as burying shallow wells and providing clean and safe drinking water.
