 * Welcome. So the issue was that your edit removed a high quality secondary source (a Cochrane review from 2010) "They reduce the risk of death from cholera by 50% in the first year after vaccination. " and replaced it by old primary source including "Sanchez J L, Vasquez B, Beque R et al, Protective efficacy of the oral whole cell / recombinant B subunit cholera vaccine in Peruvian military recruits. Lancet 1994; 344: 1273 – 6."
 * This is against our referencing policy. Please read WP:MEDRS. Would be happy to discuss further on Wikipedia, by email or by phone. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:30, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not get it. Most of the text you have added is not supported by any sources? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 15:10, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I am going to look at the proposed changes and try to fit some in; I think a history of the development of cholera vaccine could be valuable, though not where it had been placed in the opening sentence. --Synaptophysin (talk) 18:02, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes a section on history may be useful. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Oral [vaccine intake] section
The second paragraph has a sentence ending "... antibodies against both the bacterial components and CTB." Probably the acronym means "cholera toxin, subunit B" but that isn't evident. I've linked to the Cholera toxin article. Really the full name would be better than the acronym. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 14:51, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Azar Andami
Azar Andami bio claims she invented a vaccine against cholera, cited to a source in Persian. Is it verifiable in English sources? Staszek Lem (talk) 20:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Hi, I made some minor changes to the article and added some citations. HailML (talk) 02:58, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I wasnt sure how to implement a potentially good resource into the article. Please feel free to use the citation in future additions of the article. Cholera – Global situation (who.int). It may be beneficial to add it into the extra resources. HailML (talk) 03:02, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
