Typhoid Vaccine

Typhoid Vaccine is a bacterial vaccine that protects against typhoid fever, an infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It works by triggering a mild reaction in the body, prompting our immune system to produce protective antibodies against the bacteria that cause typhoid fever. Your doctor will advise whether a booster dose is needed to ensure continued protection. Typhoid Vaccine cannot treat an existing typhoid infection; it is only effective as a preventive measure before exposure to the bacteria. Individuals with acute infections or those who have previously experienced allergies to vaccinations or blood products should avoid receiving Typhoid Vaccine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women may receive Typhoid Vaccine if prescribed by their doctor. Some mild side effects, such as discomfort and redness at the injection site, or a low fever, may occur. These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few days. However, if symptoms worsen, it is advisable to visit a doctor.
