Mixed-method analysis shows reduced cholera-related hospital admissions post-vaccination in Mozambican urban centers, indicating public health benefits.
Mozambique has experienced cholera outbreaks in urban areas since the early 2000s, necessitating comprehensive surveillance and intervention strategies. A mixed-method approach combining routine health data with sentinel surveillance systems was employed to assess the effectiveness and distribution of the vaccine across urban centers. * Hospital admission rates showed a significant reduction (p-value < 0.05) following the vaccine rollout in three out of five monitored cities, indicating its potential public health benefits. The intervention strategy demonstrated promising outcomes with notable reductions in cholera-related hospital admissions post-vaccination. Future studies should focus on long-term effects and broader implementation strategies to sustain these improvements. Cholera, Vaccine Rollout, Hospital Admissions, Urban Health Surveillance Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
