Typhoid Fever Vaccine: Protecting Your Health in High-Risk Zones
Typhoid fever causes severe illness and can lead to serious complications. Vaccination is a key defence for travellers visiting areas where sanitation is poor. Learn about the two vaccine options and which one is best suited for your itinerary.
Vaccination Overview
What Your Typhoid Vaccination Appointment Includes
We provide flexibility with two safe and effective options for protection:
- A pre-vaccination clinical assessment to determine the best course (injectable or oral).
- **Injectable option:** A single-dose injection providing protection for up to 3 years.
- **Oral option:** A course of four capsules taken over seven days (full course required).
- Detailed, British English guidance on dosage, timing, and booster requirements (typically every 3 years for the injection).
- Crucial advice on safe food, water, and hygiene practices while travelling.
Protection should begin at least two weeks before you travel for maximum effectiveness.
