About Cholera Vaccine.

Cholera vaccines are an immunobiologic drug class comprising live attenuated or inactivated whole-cell bacterial formulations designed to induce active immunity against *Vibrio cholerae*.

Administered primarily via the oral route, these agents replicate briefly or present bacterial antigens within the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate mucosal secretory IgA production and serum vibriocidal antibodies, inhibiting bacterial colonisation and neutralizing cholera enterotoxins.

This therapeutic class is primarily indicated for the prevention of severe, toxigenic watery diarrhea caused by *Vibrio cholerae* serogroups in endemic areas, humanitarian crisis response settings, and travelers journeying to regions experiencing active cholera transmission.
