The vaccination campaign will target Kinshasa province in an attempt to prevent the disease from spreading to the capital, which has an estimated 10 million residents, dpa reported. More than 18,000 cases of cholera, including more than 500 deaths, have been registered around Congo this year, the WHO said earlier this month.
