While the live,oral vaccine may be given to patients older than 6 years,each capsule must be taken 48 hours apart with the last capsule given 1 week prior to travel.There would not be enough time to complete the regimen since the patients leave in 10 days.Children under age 6 cannot receive the oral vaccine.
