Travel health is an important part of travel planning, so talking to a healthcare provider or pharmacist can help you learn:
Try to schedule your visit as soon as you choose your destination, or about a month before you leave, so you can make sure that any medicine or vaccine you get has time to work before you leave.

VAXCHORA is a prescription vaccine used in children at least 2 years old and adults up to 64 years old for a disease called cholera. If you are traveling to areas affected by cholera, you can take VAXCHORA by mouth to help protect you against the type of cholera caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1.
VAXCHORA has not been shown to work for:
Do not use VAXCHORA if you have had a serious allergic reaction to any ingredient of VAXCHORA or to a previous dose of any cholera vaccine.
VAXCHORA was not studied in people with a weakened immune system. The vaccine may not protect these people.
It is important to tell your healthcare provider (HCP) if:
In clinical trials of adults (18–45 years old), the most common side effects were tiredness, headache, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. In children and adolescents (2–17 years old), the most common side effects were headache, tiredness, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and nausea.
These are not all the possible side effects of VAXCHORA. Patients should always ask their healthcare professionals for medical advice about the appropriate use of vaccines and adverse events. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bavarian Nordic at 1-844-4BAVARIAN or the US Department of Health and Human Services by either visiting www.vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html or calling 1-800-822-7967.
Tell your HCP about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Certain treatments, like antibiotics, some anti-malaria medications, and therapies that can weaken the immune system, can interfere with how VAXCHORA works. As needed, your doctor can discuss with you whether to postpone or decide against taking VAXCHORA.
Vaccination with VAXCHORA does not eliminate the need for you to be careful about the food and water you consume in cholera-affected areas. Food and water that have been contaminated with fecal matter from people who are infected with cholera bacteria is the biggest source of risk for a traveler.
This summary provides basic information about VAXCHORA but it does not include all information known about this vaccine. Talk to your HCP or pharmacist about this information. Your HCP is the best person to help you decide if VAXCHORA is right for you.
