Dukoral

Dukoral

Dukoral is a vaccine against cholera and traveler's diarrhea.

It is largely used by backpackers and persons visiting locations where there is a high risk of cholera infection. However, it does not provide 100% immunity from the disease, and food hygiene precautions should also be taken into consideration when visiting an area where there is a high risk of becoming infected with cholera.
