Cholera Vaccination
What is Cholera?
Cholera is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Severe watery diarrhoea can cause rapid dehydration. Most travellers have a low risk when following sensible hygiene precautions.
Who should consider vaccination?
Discuss vaccination for higher-risk situations such as humanitarian work, outbreaks or travel with limited access to safe water and medical care.
Your vaccination plan
Oral cholera vaccination uses a course of doses. The number, spacing and booster requirements depend on age, product and previous vaccination. Ask early enough to complete the recommended course.
At your appointment
- Bring your travel dates, destinations and previous vaccination records.
- Tell us about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions and any previous vaccine reactions.
- We’ll explain suitability, possible side effects, the cost and any follow-up doses before you decide.
Your questions, answered
Can I book this vaccine directly?
Yes, you can request this service. The pharmacist will assess suitability and confirm availability before treatment. If you are unsure, select a travel-health consultation.
What if I have already had some doses?
Bring any records you have. The pharmacist will check your previous course and discuss what, if anything, is needed next.
Will I need another appointment?
That depends on the vaccine and your history. We’ll explain the schedule; one booking reserves one appointment, not an entire course.

What does this map mean?
This is an overview of destination vaccination advice, not a precise disease-risk boundary or an entry-certificate map. Highlighted countries do not imply that everyone needs the vaccine; grey countries do not imply no risk. Tetanus occurs worldwide. Yellow fever certificate requirements can also apply to transit routes without local transmission. Discuss every stop with your pharmacist.
