Molecule Description

Typhoid Vaccines is a vaccine used to protect against typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is an infection caused by a bacteria called Salmonella Typhi. This vaccine helps your body build protection against this bacteria. It contains a part of the Salmonella Typhi bacteria joined to a harmless part of tetanus bacteria.

After receiving this vaccine, you may experience temporary side effects, such as pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site, as well as a possible mild fever or headache. These reactions are generally mild and should resolve on their own. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult your doctor for guidance on managing them.
