Overview

Each year between 2008 and 2012, India had an estimated 675,000 cholera cases and 20,000 cholera deaths. The year 2016 saw 6.2 million typhoid cases and 66,400 typhoid-associated deaths, with 10,200 deaths among children under five. Despite this enormous health burden, India’s Universal Immunization Program does not include cholera or typhoid vaccines for children. To inform India’s vaccination policy, One Health Trust researchers have estimated the cost-effectiveness of delivering typhoid and cholera vaccines to children under five.
