Abstract
Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease caused by intestinal infection with Vibrio cholerae bacterium (Health Protection Agency, 2004). Travellers are now able to obtain a cholera vaccine in the UK. Although cholera is rare in travellers from the UK, its potential severity is a cause for concern. Nurses will need to consider the availability of this new vaccine when providing health promotion to travellers.
