There's not a vaccine for cholera. People ususally just let it run it's course, the only way you die from this bacterial infection is from dehydration-you loose like 5 gallons of water a day from diarrhea. You can take antibiotics, but I hear it doesn't help that much.-Jess

∙ 11y agoNew information indicates that the immunization from a flu vaccine can lose effectiveness over time, but it can last a lifetime...however, only for that one exact kind of flu virus. These viruses can mutate to different forms fairly quickly and once they change much at all, our prior exposure to the initial virus (or the vaccination for it) is no longer effective to prevent infection by the new strain resulting from the mutation. Sometimes they are close enough that the prior vaccine will work, other times, they are not. If you get an annual vaccination for the flu each year, your chances of getting the flu that is circulating that year are still significantly reduced.
