The Haitian government has refused an offer from a company to vaccinate ten thousands of Haitians for the cholera epidemic. According to report, Haitian health officials rejected the offer by a company offering to use Dukoral cholera vaccine to fight the cholera outbreak in Haiti.

Now do you want to know why this offer was not accepted. The decision was not made because of possible health risks as you might want to believe. According to the Financial Times, the decision not to accept free vaccination for the Haitian population was made at the time because the government was fearful of possible social tensions that could be sparked by distributing limited quantities of the vaccine.

 So far, more than 5,500 people have died due to the cholera outbreak in Haiti and close to 400,000 have been affected.
