How it works
Quick and straightforward. Most appointments take around 15 minutes.What is cholera vaccination
Cholera vaccination protects you against this serious bacterial infection before travelling to high-risk regions. Our travel clinic at Chatham Pharmacy provides the oral vaccine to keep you safe.
Cholera is a potentially life-threatening infection spread through contaminated water and food in areas with poor sanitation. The disease causes severe diarrhoea and dehydration and can be fatal if left untreated. The oral cholera vaccine, Dukoral, is highly effective at preventing infection and is recommended for travellers visiting endemic regions.
At Chatham Pharmacy in Medway, we administer the WHO-approved oral cholera vaccine as part of our comprehensive travel health service. The vaccine requires two doses taken orally, spaced one to six weeks apart, and provides protection for up to two years. Our experienced travel clinic team will assess your destination and health history to determine if cholera vaccination is right for you.
The team at Chatham Pharmacy made my travel preparations so easy. They explained everything clearly and I felt completely confident about my trip to Asia.
What to expect
Your cholera vaccination appointment at Chatham Pharmacy is straightforward and takes about 15 minutes. We ensure you're fully prepared for your travels.
When you arrive at our Chatham pharmacy in Medway, our travel health specialist will review your medical history, current medications, and travel plans. We'll discuss any previous reactions to vaccines and check whether cholera vaccination is appropriate for you. This consultation helps us provide personalised travel health advice tailored to your specific destination.
The oral vaccine is taken as a single sachet mixed with cool water. You'll drink this at our pharmacy under our supervision. After your first dose, you'll need to return for your second dose between one and six weeks later. We'll book this appointment for you and send you a reminder. Most people experience no side effects, though some may notice mild stomach symptoms. You can resume normal activities immediately after vaccination.
