“The cholera outbreak is escalating rapidly, and it’s crucial we all play our part in controlling its spread. The health services have introduced a vaccine, and I strongly encourage everyone here to get vaccinated. I’ve taken the vaccine myself, and I can attest to its safety. Let’s all take responsibility for our health and get vaccinated.”

“In addition to vaccination, we must maintain good hygiene practices. This includes keeping our surroundings clean, avoiding cold foods, and adopting regular handwashing techniques, just as we did during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s also advisable to avoid buying food from outside vendors.” He stated.
