The protection afforded by cholera vaccine administered by the intradermal route, and demonstrated by active and passive mouse protection tests, active guinea-pig protection tests, and agglutination titres, is excellent and equal to that given by subcutaneous inoculation.

It is suggested that cholera vaccine administered by the intradermal route would greatly reduce the incidence of reactions which occur when the vaccine is given subcutaneously.
