Traveller's Diarrhoea
Oral vaccination to help protect against cholera infection during travel to affected regions.
Cholera is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, causing severe diarrhoea and dehydration if not treated quickly.
It is usually transmitted by consuming unsafe water or food, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water.
Symptoms include watery diarrhoea, vomiting, and dehydration, which can become serious and require urgent treatment if left unmanaged.
Risk is higher in parts of Africa, Asia, and regions where clean water and sanitation facilities are limited or inconsistent.
Vaccination, along with safe food and water habits, helps reduce the risk of infection while travelling to higher-risk areas.
Initial oral dose taken before travel
Second oral dose taken 1 week later

Helpful information about cholera vaccination and travel protection.
The vaccine is recommended for travellers visiting higher-risk regions, particularly where access to clean water and sanitation may be limited. It may also be advised for those working in humanitarian or healthcare settings.
The cholera vaccine is taken orally as a drink rather than an injection. It is given as a two-dose course, usually spaced one week apart.
Protection is short-term and typically lasts for a limited period. A booster dose may be recommended if you are travelling again to high-risk areas.
The full course should ideally be completed at least one week before travel to ensure adequate protection during your trip.
Side effects are generally mild and may include stomach discomfort, nausea, or mild gastrointestinal symptoms, which usually resolve quickly.
