Cholera Vaccine

The cholera vaccine is a protective shot that helps your body fight off cholera, a serious diarrhea-causing disease caused by bacteria in contaminated water or food. It works by introducing a safe, weakened piece of the bacteria to your immune system, allowing it to recognize and respond quickly if exposed to the actual bacteria later. The vaccine isn't 100% effective but significantly reduces the risk of illness and severity. It's especially useful for travelers to cholera-endemic areas and communities at risk, helping prevent outbreaks and save lives through immunization.
