Experts call for vaccination, antibiotics in Haiti

Experts are saying that the treatment for cholera in Haiti is not doing enough and they call for vaccination. Cholera is caused from feces matter that gets into water and food and infects the person. Normally a person would just be treated with rehydration but it is showing ineffective and is not solving the epidemic. Very many times a person can be infected and not show symptoms so it is hard to catch. However the WOlrd Health Organization and Pan-American Health Organization say it is too expensive.
