*The vaccine coverage of individuals living within 25 m of index cases was calculated as the number of two-dose vaccine recipients divided by all population within 25 m.

Cumulative total population within 25 m of the index cases.

Cumulative total cholera cases within 25 m of the index cases (excluding index cases) and within 8–28 d of onset of index cases.

£Adjusted for distance from household to nearest water body.

**Not enough cases to develop a multivariable model.
