Typhoid Vaccination
Typhoid fever is a highly contagious and potentially lethal disease, which spreads via contaminated foods and water. As typhoid bacteria are primarily found in faeces, the infection is particularly common in regions with poor sanitation.
About the vaccine
When to get vaccinated:
At least two weeks before travel. It can also be given closer to you travel date but this leaves you at a greater risk of contracting the disease.
How it is given
There are two different typhoid vaccines. One is an injection, the other consists of a course of tablets. Which vaccine is suitable for you depends on your age and medical history.
Course
One dose if you receive the typhoid injection. The oral vaccine consists of three capsules taken over a course of five days.
Boosters
The typhoid vaccine protects you for three years. After that, you will need a booster if you travel to a risk area.
Side effects
Side effects of the vaccine can include fever, soreness at the injection site and digestive problems.
Children
The vaccine is suitable for children over the age of two.
Additional precautions:
In addition to getting vaccinated, you need to practise food safety.
Risk if you contract the disease
Typhoid causes similar symptoms as food poisoning. If it is not immediately diagnosed and treated it can lead to permanent disabilities or death.
