Side effects: The cholera vaccine may cause mild side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, headache, tiredness, or a reduced appetite.
Additional precautions: Seek medical advice if you develop severe diarrhoea, vomiting, dehydration, dizziness, or a high temperature while travelling or after returning home. The cholera vaccine helps reduce the risk of cholera but does not replace safe food, clean water, and good hand hygiene.
Risks caused by cholera: Cholera is a bacterial infection that can cause sudden, severe watery diarrhoea and rapid dehydration. If left untreated, serious cases can become life-threatening, especially in areas with limited access to clean water or medical care.
