Cholera Vaccine in Ealing

You may not need vaccination if your itinerary is low risk. The vaccine is usually advised for higher risk travel and for people with limited access to care.

The vaccine is a drink taken in doses before travel. Adults and children from six years usually need two doses given one to six weeks apart. Finish at least one week before you go. Protection can last up to two years.

Children aged two to under six usually need three doses on the same spacing. A booster is advised if risk continues. Boosters are typically after six months for younger children and after two years for older children and adults.

Good hygiene still matters. Wash hands with clean water and soap. Choose safe food and drinks. The vaccine reduces risk but does not replace careful habits during travel.

Avoid food and drink for one hour before and one hour after each dose. This helps the vaccine work as intended. We will show you exactly how to take it.
