MUMS Consultant Paediatrician, Dr Vijay Iyer and MUMS Private GPs, Dr Rajib, and Dr Nazish – administer Private Typhoid travel vaccinations to children aged 2 and over and adults.
If you are travelling to an area where sanitation is poor, you will need protection from typhoid bacteria as typhoid fever is very contagious and can be lethal. It is spread through water and contaminated food. If you are travelling to a high-risk area such as Asia or South America, India, Pakistan – then Typhoid Vaccination is highly recommended and especially if you are staying for a longer period.
Vaccination against Typhoid ensures your body creates the necessary antibodies, but you must also take additional precautions. For example – bottled water only, avoid un-washed fruit and veg, seafoods and salads.
As with all vaccinations, 100% immunity cannot be guaranteed and so it is important to practice food safety hygiene.
You will need to be protected with a typhoid vaccination at least two weeks before you travel.
Only one dose is required.
Children aged over 2 years and adults can have typhoid vaccination.
You will be protected for three years, and need only a booster should you travel to a high-risk area.
The side effects from typhoid vaccination include fever, and sometimes digestive problems.
Ensure you are protected against typhoid fever which is highly contagious. Typhoid can be lethal.
