Is there a vaccine for cholera?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved one vaccine for cholera (Vaxchora®). It’s for adults ages 18 to 64 who plan to travel to areas with cholera. But the vaccine isn’t recommended very often because most tourists don’t visit places with cholera. Two other cholera vaccines exist but aren’t approved in the United States.

Vaccines aren’t 100% effective, so you should still take care when traveling. Follow precautions with food and water, and wash your hands often.
