Acceptability of the mass vaccination campaign by the population We performed a cross-sectional cluster survey and implemented adverse event surveillance. The study population included individuals older than 12 months, eligible for vaccination, and residing in the areas targeted for vaccination (Forécariah and Boffa, Guinea). Data sources were household interviews with verification by vaccination card. 3.3. Adverse events following immunization Surveillance of adverse events following immunization was implemented in the sites where the mass vaccination campaigns were carried out as well as in the health centers and health posts of the areas targeted by the mass vaccination campaigns for 14 days following each vaccination round. The following data were collected using a standardized form age, sex, pregnancy, history of allergies, vaccination date, consultation date, date of onset of the symptoms, type of symptoms, and clinical outcome (recovery, transfer or death). 3.4. Performance of the cholera rapid diagnostic test crystal in vaccinated individuals A total of 108 vaccinated individuals, selected systematically among all persons older than one year, were included at vaccination sites and 106 were included in the analysis. Stools samples of this cohort of vaccinated participants were collected and tested with the rapid diagnostic test every day until the test was negative for two consecutive visits or for a maximum of 7 days.
