What is Vaxchora?

Vaxchora is a brand-name oral vaccine that provides active immunity from cholera, a potentially fatal bacterial infection of the small intestine that causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. Cholera is very rare in the United States—about 6 cases per year. Almost all cases are infected when traveling abroad.

The active ingredients in Vaxchora are living but weakened cholera bacteria, called “attenuated” bacteria. The body mounts an immune response to the bacteria, but the organisms are too weak to grow fast enough to cause an infection. The antibodies created provide a years-long line of defense against future cholera infections.

Vaxchora is taken as an oral solution in a single dose supervised by a healthcare professional at a pharmacy, clinic, or hospital. Vaxchora is taken 10 days before possible exposure to cholera bacteria, usually for people planning to travel abroad. Do not eat for one hour after taking Vaxchora.

What are the side effects of Vaxchora?

Although not a complete list, common side effects of Vaxchora include, but are not limited to, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, diarrhea, fever, and “feeling tired.” Allergic reactions are very rare and include rash, itching, and swelling at the injection site.
