CSL Seqirus has advised that new stock of Dukoral (oral, inactivated cholera vaccine) is now available in both single and twin pack presentations, following a period of short supply and back-orders will be filled.
Cholera is an acute bacterial infection where transmission mainly occurs when people ingest faecally contaminated food or water, though seafood caught from contaminated water has also caused outbreaks.
Cholera can be brought back to Australia by children and adults travelling to cholera-endemic areas.
Cholera endemic areas include some popular travel destinations for Australians in South and Southeast Asia including Indonesia, India and Nepal.
Cholera vaccination is recommended for children (2 years of age) and adults who have a high risk of exposure when travelling to areas where cholera exists and who have a higher risk of acquiring diarrhoeal disease.
