As of June 2014, there are two types of vaccine for cholera. The first is Dukoral which is available in more than 60 countries worldwide and the second is ShanChol, which is available in India but is pending WHO approval.
it hasn't been developed. its a virus from the protista kingdom. so it cannot be healed only managed. Viruses don't leave your body once you get them. they just lay dormant inside your body after they have been healed. they're virtually impossible to kill
You have a cholera vaccine made from the dead cholera bacteria. You get about 60 % protection, only from the cholera. There is local swelling and tenderness after the vaccine and you get malaise for day or two after the vaccine.
Cholera vaccine is not very effective. It can give protection up to 60 % only. So cholera can not be eradicated by vaccination.
Yes. The cholera vaccine is a killed vaccine.
Cholera vaccine is very cheap. Cholera vaccine does not give protection of more than 60 %. It may give you false sense of security. Never the less the importance of cholera vaccine can not be underestimated.
In cholera vaccination you are injected the dead cells of cholera. So you get antibodies to cholera. This vaccine is not very effective. The protection rate is some where 50 to 60 % only. So you can not keep faith on the vaccine for protection from cholera.
Yes. I have had it.
Typhoid A & B and Cholera Vaccine
Louis Pastuer created the vaccine for chicken cholera.
Waldemar Haffkine (1860 - 1930) was a microbiologist who worked at the Pasteur Institute in France. He bravely tested the cholera vaccine on himself and also thousands of people in India. He dedicated his inspiration for the vaccine to Louis Pasteur.
Waldemar Haffkine first developed the vaccine for cholera around 1900.
Doctor Joseph Obi Njoku,Imo state commissioner of health is credited for development of cholera vaccine in Nigeria.This was during the Nigerian-Biafrian war.
Louis Pastaur discovered the vaccine for anthrax and chicken cholera
Even to day also cholera kills about 60,000 to 120,000 people annually. Mostly the children. Cholera vaccine is not very effective. So cholera is going to be threat for ever. It is one of the biological weapon, which can be used in wars, to kill the 'Humanity'.
Apparently there is a Cholera Vaccine, but it is only considered 25-50% effective. It is also apparently dangerous for children to receive it. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR600363
