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.

- Children: The vaccine is suitable for children over the age of two.

- Risk if you contract typhoid: Typhoid causes similar symptoms as food poisoning. If it is not immediately diagnosed and treated it can lead to permanent disabilities or death.
