*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.

Number of index cases over/cumulative total population within 25 m of the index cases.

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

£Adjusted for age, sex, and distance to nearest water body.

IR, incidence rate; VE, vaccine effectiveness.
