When Jane Gathoni entered professor Charles Chunge’s clinic along Ngong’ Road after being infected with cholera, little did she know that there is an effective cholera vaccine in Kenya.

Gathoni, a resident of Kibera, is not alone. Many Kenyans, including medics and paramedics do not know that there is a cholera vaccine.
