Additional key concepts from this publication:

Vaccination is a cost-effective approach to prevent illness in high risk populations and in fragile settings.

Key Evidence: A comprehensive review of the economics of cholera and cholera prevention concluded that vaccination using oral cholera vaccines can be cost-effective, especially when herd effects are taken into account and when vaccination is administered to populations and age groups with high incidence rates (e.g., children) and to areas with high cholera case fatality rates.
