Why Get Cholera Vaccination?
Cholera is a serious infection caused by bacteria found in contaminated water and food. It can lead to severe diarrhoea and dehydration, which can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.
If you’re travelling to parts of Africa, Asia, or Central and South America, the cholera vaccine can offer important protection. At our travel vaccine clinic, we’ll assess your travel plans and guide you on whether you need the cholera vaccine.
Our experts will also explain the cholera vaccine cost, how it works, and how long the protection lasts.

How Do Cholera Vaccines Work?
The cholera vaccine is taken by mouth and helps your body build protection against the bacteria that cause cholera. It is usually given in two doses, at least one week apart, and provides protection for up to two years.
Even with the vaccine, it’s important to practise safe food and water habits while travelling.
