Evidence-based data shows that increasing rates of cholera and diarrhoeal patients are coming to the ICDDR,B diarrhoea hospital from the northern part of Dhaka city, and therefore this area has been chosen to receive the vaccine. 120,000 people above the age of one year will be vaccinated, excluding pregnant women.
