RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS


Cholera Vaccine: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, 2022

A CDC report that summarizes recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for the use of lyophilized CVD 103-HgR vaccine in the United States. Cholera is a toxin-mediated bacterial gastrointestinal illness caused by Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1.

The figure is a graphic with text that reads, “Recommend the cholera vaccine for your patients based on their travel plans and age.” There are three boxes that explain why, where, and to whom the vaccine should be recommended. It says, “Up to 10% of cholera infections are severe, resulting in diarrhea that can cause severe dehydration and rapid death. Travelers should receive the cholera vaccine before traveling to places with active cholera transmission. The cholera vaccine is recommended for travelers ages 2–64 years old.”
