Cholera vaccine - what does this mean

Cholera vaccine is an oral vaccine that works by introducing a weakened form of the cholera bacteria into the body, stimulating an immune response that helps protect against future infection. the vaccine is typically given in two doses, with the second dose given 2-6 weeks after the first.

What happens during the disease - cholera vaccine

Cholera is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium vibrio cholerae, which is usually spread through contaminated water. the disease is characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. the cholera vaccine is designed to protect against the disease by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that recognize and fight vibrio cholerae. the vaccine works by introducing a weakened form of the bacteria into the body, prompting the immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight the bacteria if it is encountered again.
