WHY VACCINATE
The Cholera Vaccine
A drink-based vaccine for travellers heading to higher-risk destinations
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
-
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.
KNOW THE FACTS
What is Cholera?
An infection linked to contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation
Bacterial Infection
Caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria, usually picked up from contaminated water or food.
Higher-Risk Regions
More common across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Haiti and parts of Central America.
Linked to Sanitation
