[ POEA (DOLE) MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 58, October 28, 1991 ]

ON CHOLERA VACCINATION



Based on Memorandum Circular No. 8 dated 7 October 1991 issued by the National Quarantine Office-Department of Health (NQO-DOH), it is herein informed that cholera vaccination is no longer required of any traveller whether arriving in the Philippines from a foreign country or departing from the Philippines for another country.

The However, the NQO-DOH shall continue to provide cholera vaccination for travellers going to other countries which will still require the vaccination.

For your information and guidance.
