QUESTION : WHEN WAS EVERYBODY IN THE UNITED STATES VACCINATED AGAIINST CHOLERA ?
Sixth, 1899–1923
[Main article: 1899–1923 cholera pandemic
The sixth cholera pandemic, which was due to the classical strain of O1, had little effect in western Europe because of advances in sanitation and public health, but major Russian cities and the Ottoman Empire particularly suffered a high rate of cholera deaths. More than 500,000 people died of cholera in Russia from 1900 to 1925, which was a time of extreme social disruption because of revolution and warfare.[49]
The 1902–1904 cholera epidemic claimed 200,000 lives in the Philippines,[50] including their revolutionary hero and first prime minister Apolinario Mabini. Cholera broke out 27 times during the hajj at Mecca from the 19th century to 1930.[49] The sixth pandemic killed more than 800,000 in India.]
The last outbreak of cholera in the United States was in 1910–1911, when the steamship Moltke brought infected people from Naples to New York City. Vigilant health authorities isolated the infected in quarantine on Swinburne Island. Eleven people died, including a health care worker at the hospital on the island.[51][52][53]
In 1913, the Romanian Army, while invading Bulgaria during the Second Balkan War, suffered a cholera outbreak that resulted in 1,600 deaths.[54][55][56] ]
In this time period, because immigrants and travelers often carried cholera from infected locales, the disease became associated with outsiders in each society. The Italians blamed the Jews and Gypsies, the British who were in India accused the "dirty natives", and the Americans thought the disease came from the Philippines.[57]
Seventh, 1961–1975
