AFPPIX: The deadliest cholera outbreak in Malawi's history has killed at least 1,210 people, while vaccines remain scarce, the World Health Organization said Thursday.
“With a sharp increase of cases seen over the last month, fears are that the outbreak will continue to worsen without strong interventions,“ WHO warned in a statement. In November, it received the second batch of almost three million doses from the UN, and last month a health ministry spokesman told AFP all the doses had been used.WHO said Thursday that 96.8 percent of the population “residing in communities with high risk and burden of cholera” had been reached.
WHO said there was a continued risk of further increases in the number of cases in the Malawi outbreak, and said there could also be more international spread.WHO said it assessed the current risk of spread inside Malawi and to neighbouring countries as “very high”.
