Cholera Oral Vaccination

£60 (single dose)

Cholera is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, often in areas with poor sanitation. Travellers to high-risk regions may benefit from the oral cholera vaccine, especially if staying in remote areas or during outbreaks. The vaccine provides short-term protection with a single oral dose taken at least one week before travel.
