Cholera Vaccination: Essential Protection for International Travellers

Understanding The Risk

Cholera is a potentially fatal bacterial infection of the bowel caused by Vibrio Cholera. While primarily occurring in areas with compromised sanitation, the risk can be significantly reduced through proper precautions and vaccination.

An estimated 3-5 million people across Central and South America, Africa, and Asia are affected annually, highlighting the importance of preventative measures for travellers to these regions.

Symptoms and Timelines

The bacterial infection has a rapid incubation period of 6-72 hours, presenting with mild to extreme diarrhoea and vomiting without typically causing fever. Symptoms can persist for 1-7 days, potentially leading to severe dehydration requiring immediate medical attention.

Standard treatment protocols include targeted antibiotics and comprehensive fluid replacement to combat dehydration.

The Cholera Vaccination

Our cholera vaccine offers up to 90% protection against the disease for a 2-year period, providing peace of mind for travellers to high-risk regions.

We recommend a course of two doses administered orally, making the vaccination process simple and non-invasive.

Our experts can guide you through the vaccination process, ensuring you receive the protection you need before travelling to affected regions.

Where Are the Risk Areas?

Areas of risk include:

How Old Do You Have To Be To Have the Vaccine?

The vaccine can be administered to individuals aged 2 years and older.

How Long Does Immunity Last For?

Immunity lasts for 2 years.
