​Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease that can kill within hours if left untreated.  Researchers have estimated that each year there are 1.3 to 4.0 million cases of cholera, and 21,000 to 143,000 deaths worldwide due to cholera.  Most of those infected will have no or mild symptoms, and can be successfully treated with oral rehydration solution.  Severe cases will need rapid treatment with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Provision of safe water and sanitation is critical to control the transmission of cholera and other waterborne diseases. 

The FDA recently approved a single‐dose live oral cholera vaccine called Vaxchora in the United States. Vaxchora has been reported to reduce the chance of severe diarrhea in people by 90% at 10 days after vaccination and by 80% at 3 months after vaccination. 
 
Denver Travel Medicine Clinic does administer Vaxchora to appropriate candidates for the vaccination.

​Vaccine Only Consultation

This consultation is for those travelers who have already consulted with their doctor or a travel medicine specialist and only need to have vaccinations administered.  

Note: If you need vaccines recommendations, yellow fever vaccine, malaria prevention medication or travel health advise, these services are not provided during Vaccine Only Consultations.  You will need to schedule a Pre-Travel Consultation and have vaccines administered during that visit.
