Vaccination for cholera
There's a vaccine for cholera, but most people do not need it. It's usually only recommended if either: you're travelling to an area where cholera is common and you'll be visiting remote places without access to medical care you're an aid or disaster relief worker going to an area where a cholera outbreak is likely. The vaccine is given as a drink. For adults, 2 doses (given 1 to 6 weeks apart) can provide protection for up to 2 years. You need to have had both doses at least a week before travelling.
