TURNING TO INOCULATION AGAINST CHOLERA, DR CHAN SAID: +ACCORDING TO WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION AND OTHER WORLD LEADING AUTHORITIES, VACCINATION MAY NOT GIVE YOU THE PROTECTION YOU EXPECT.
+AT THE MOST YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT 50 PER CENT PROTECTION ONLY. INSTEAD YOU MAY GET A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. YOU MAY BECOME A HIDDEN CARRIER AND SUBSEQUENTLY AFFECT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND IF YOU ARE A FOOD HANDLER YOU MAY AFFECT THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.+
