Project summary

This project will compare the vibriocidal titers in subjects who receive a second dose of oral cholera vaccine (Shanchol), two weeks, 6 months or 11.5 months after the first dose. The primary outcome is the geometric mean vibriocidal titer two weeks after the second dose. Additional follow-up serum samples will determine the persistence of the vibriocidal titers.

Potential for public health impact or global health decision-making

This will provide guidance when the second dose of OCV is delayed.
