Abstract

Groups of 122 Peruvian adults of low socioeconomic level (SEL) and 125 of high SEL received a randomly allocated 5 x 10(9)- or 5 x 10(8)-CFU dose of CVD 103-HgR live oral cholera vaccine or a placebo. The vaccine was well tolerated. Vibriocidal seroconversions occurred in 78% of high-SEL and 72% of low-SEL subjects who ingested the high dose and in 78 and 49%, respectively, of those who received the low dose.
