Advice for Travellers
Cholera is a low risk for most travellers to the popular destinations of Mexico and vaccination would not normally be recommended although a high standard of food, water and personal hygiene is recommended.
Travellers to outbreak areas who will be mixing closely with the local population and cannot ensure safe drinking water can be immunised against cholera. A high standard of food, water and personal hygiene should also be maintained.
