WHY VACCINATE

The Cholera Vaccine

A drink-based vaccine for travellers heading to higher-risk destinations

The cholera vaccine is taken orally, mixed with water
Oral Course — No Needles Involved

Simple Protection for Higher-Risk Travel

Cholera is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, causing severe diarrhoea and dehydration. It's rare for tourists staying in good hotels, but a real consideration for anyone travelling to areas with poor sanitation, staying in local accommodation, or working in humanitarian and healthcare settings. The vaccine is a drink you take at the pharmacy rather than an injection, given as a short course.

  • Taken Orally

    A sachet mixed with water and drunk at the pharmacy — no injection required.

  • Two Doses, 1–6 Weeks Apart

    Complete both doses at least a week before you travel for full protection.

  • Bonus Protection

    Also gives around 3 months' cover against ETEC, the most common cause of travellers' diarrhoea.
