Avoid cholera on your trip
Cholera is an intestinal infection acquired by consuming contaminated food or water. While rare among travelers, it does pose a risk in areas with poor sanitation.
Get Vaccinated
The oral cholera vaccine provides up to 90% protection against this diarrheal disease for 6 months. It’s recommended for:
Travelers visiting regions with active cholera transmission
Those engaged in relief work in cholera-affected areas
People with a higher risk of complications
The cholera vaccine requires two doses taken at least one week apart. Schedule your appointment at our travel clinic to get vaccinated prior to travel.
Follow precautionary measures

Drink bottled water or use water filters or purifiers.
Avoid raw fruits and vegetables unless you wash or peel them.
