Oral cholera vaccine (OCV) was introduced by the Haitian Ministry of Health as a pilot project in urban and rural areas. This paper reports the successful OCV pilot project led by GHESKIO Centers in the urban slums of Port-au-Prince where 52,357 persons received dose 1 and 90.8% received dose 2; estimated coverage of the at-risk community was 75%. This pilot study demonstrated the effort, community mobilization, and organizational capacity necessary to achieve these results in a challenging setting. The OCV intervention paved the way for the recent launching of a national cholera vaccination program integrated in a long-term ambitious and comprehensive plan to address Haiti's critical need in water security and sanitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0171","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,9]],"date-time":"2013-10-09T02:18:18Z","timestamp":1381285098000},"page":"671-681","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Cholera
