About the Typhoid Vaccination
Typhoid fever is a systemic bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, transmitted through consumption of food or water contaminated with the faeces or urine of an infected person. It is a significant cause of illness and death in parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central and South America, with an estimated 11 to 20 million cases occurring globally each year. Without antibiotic treatment, typhoid carries a case fatality rate of 10 to 30%; even with treatment, 1 to 4% of cases are fatal.
The typhoid vaccine is available as an injectable inactivated vaccine (Typhim Vi, providing protection for approximately three years) or as an oral live attenuated vaccine (Vivotif, providing protection for approximately five years in adults). The injectable form is suitable from age two; the oral form is suitable for those aged six and over. Neither vaccine provides absolute protection, so food and water hygiene precautions remain essential.
Who should have this vaccination?
- Travellers to typhoid-endemic regions, including the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central and South America
- Those visiting friends and family in endemic countries — visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travellers are at particularly high risk
- Backpackers and adventure travellers eating from street food stalls or local restaurants
- Those staying in accommodation with limited access to safe drinking water
- Healthcare workers and aid workers in endemic regions
Vaccination schedule
The injectable typhoid vaccine (Typhim Vi) is given as a single dose at least two weeks before travel, providing protection for three years. The oral vaccine (Vivotif) is taken as three capsules on alternate days, completing the course at least one week before departure, and provides five years of protection in adults. Our clinical team will advise on the most suitable preparation based on your travel dates, destination, and medical history. The injectable vaccine can be given simultaneously with other travel vaccines at the same visit.
