Typhoid - vaccination
This is a private (paid for) service from your Pharmacist for one typhoid injection or three capsules – both offer protection against typhoid for three years.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection transmitted through contaminated food and water. Previous typhoid illness may only partially protect against re-infection.
Vaccination is recommended for most travellers, particularly travellers visiting friends and relatives, those in contact with an infected person, young children, frequent or long-stay travellers visiting areas where sanitation and food hygiene are likely to be poor, and laboratory personnel who may handle the bacteria for their work.
Prevention
All travellers should take care with personal, food and water hygiene.
