Safe travels! New vaccine against 'Delhi belly' could end holiday misery for millions

A new vaccine against one of the most common stomach bugs contracted abroad could save the holiday for millions of travellers.

The new vaccine targets both E. Coli bacteria and salmonella and has been produced by researchers at University of Cambridge.
