Why get your cholera vaccine at The Village Pharmacy

The cholera vaccine is taken orally as a drink rather than an injection, and protects for around two years before a booster may be recommended. For most package holidays it isn't needed, our pharmacist will advise based on your destination and plans, and make sure the course is completed in good time before you travel.
