Cholera shot.

[lewicki]

Not having any luck getting a doctor in the US willing to give me the shot.

Last doctor a MD alternative stated he was unable to do the shot. Said was unable to find the shot. Said he called all over. Where and how did those who have been successful getting this were able to do so?

There is an oral vaccine, Dukoral, which was the study of a Swedish article in Nature, and much discussed here. Not available in US. Quite a few of us purchased over the counter in Canada.

I have been vaccinated . Can I travel to Canada?

[6357axbz in reply to lewicki]

IDK

No, not unless the border agents deem your travel essential. They refused me entry into Canada at the Ambassador bridge in Detroit.

[RonnyBaby in reply to lewicki]

NO - you can't enter Canada yet.

IF / WHEN you cross the border, bring a COOLER and get some ICE to keep it COLD because there will be 2 doses - taken about 2 weeks apart (I forget the timing but the instructions are there). It is available over the counter (ask the pharmacist) without an Rx.

I took mine over a year ago (I'm Canadian) with NO side effects .....

Going to swim the Detroit river.

[RonnyBaby in reply to lewicki]

The exercise helps as well - LOL .....

[lewicki]

Going there right away. Thanks

Cholera is an oral vaccine. Dukoral is the one to use. Order it and take it yourself at home. Comes as 2 doses or single dose if used as a booster dose. Lasts 2 yrs I think. All details are on the net. Good luck

[lewicki in reply to Big_Mcc]

Thanks

Yes I got mine at Walgreens too. No presription needed. It took a couple of weeks for themTo get it. And at first they said they could not. After a few calls I got it worked out.

Interesting . Thanks

My Walgreens said Illinois state law prohibits the vaccine for those over 65 since it has not been tested for that group.

Great information. Contacted Walgreens, seems to be going through.

[lewicki in reply to Ramp7]

By contact did you go to the store and talk to the pharmacist?

[Ramp7 in reply to lewicki]

All online. Pickup date this Monday.

[lewicki in reply to Ramp7]

Amazing . Thanks

[Ramp7 in reply to lewicki]

Well I went to pick it up and was denied. They wanted the Physicians name and copy of prescription. The hunt continues....

[lewicki in reply to Ramp7]

D...

Does anyone know if it's necessary to have boosters after the first 2 doses to maintain anti PCa effect?

[cesces]

It needs to be the Canadian version.

Why can't you use the vax that's available in the US? Vaxchora.
