Cholera often occurs in areas with poor sanitation particularly those experiencing natural disasters or war. It is an infection of the small intestine causing acute diarrhoea and vomiting, this can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances making cholera a potentially fatal condition.
Signs and symptoms can develop 1-5 days after the ingestion of the bacteria and include vomiting of a clear liquid and pale, cloudy and painless diarrhoea.
Vaccination against cholera is highly effective and can offer up to 2 years protection.

Diphtheria is a bacterial disease usually spread through coughs and sneezes and can cause difficulties in breathing. At risk groups include unimmunized children and older adults who were not vaccinated as children. Planning to travel during the warmer months of the year along with the diphtheria vaccination are both ways of avoiding contracting the disease.
Tetanus is a bacterial infection which is introduced to the body via puncture wounds and burns. The most common symptom of tetanus is lock-jaw shortly followed by muscle spasms which may cause difficulty swallowing and in severe cases difficulty breathing. Two main ways of avoiding contracting tetanus are immunisation and avoiding injury.
Poliomyelitis is a highly contagious acute viral infection and is a particular threat to children. Poor sanitation is a key factor in the spread of the disease. Symptoms may take up to 20 days and can include fever, headaches, vomiting, fatigue, chest pains, and stiffness in the neck. In severe cases paralysis of the legs may occur and immobilisation of respiratory muscles can lead to death.
The DTP vaccination is usually part of the childhood immunisation programme in the UK and is required generally every 10 years.
Young adults may have already received this vaccination between the ages of 13-18.
Hepatitis A is a viral infection which can lead to inflammation of the liver. The virus is usually transmitted through contaminated food and water and is therefore most prevalent in areas with poor sanitation. Hepatitis A can also be transmitted between individuals with poor hygiene.
Vaccination should ideally occur at least two weeks before travel. Usually an initial injection will be followed by a booster injection to provide long-term protection.
Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus spread through blood or bodily fluids and can lead to severe liver problems that may potentially prove fatal.
The risk of contracting hepatitis B is linked to your exposure to blood or bodily fluids, such as during sexual intercourse, dental or medical treatment received abroad and tattooing.
Vaccination consists of three injections given over a period of one month or 6 months depending on your chosen course.
This vaccination is usually given for rural travel and is a viral infection usually transmitted by mosquitoes with the host being pigs and wading birds. Infection can cause swelling of the brain leading to permanent brain damage and death.
In tropical countries the risk of infection is consistent year-round, however in temperate countries the risk is increased during the rainy seasons.
Vaccination is usually given as two vaccines over 28 days.
Malaria is spread through mosquito bites. It is the female Anopheles mosquitos that carry the Plasmodium parasite which passes into the bloodstream after a bite and is responsible for causing malaria. Bites mainly occur at dusk and at night. Signs and symptoms of malaria typically present 7-18 days after becoming infected and include fever accompanied by sweats and chills, headaches, muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhoea. However, in some cases symptoms may not present for up to a year.
The pharmacist you see at our travel clinic will be able to advise you on and provide you with the most appropriate form of malaria prevention, accounting for your age, any pre-existing medical conditions you may have, current medications you may take, pregnancy and the destination you plan to visit.
