Typhoid vaccination

The typhoid vaccine provides effective protection by stimulating your immune system to recognize and fight the bacteria should you be exposed to it. By getting vaccinated, you reduce your risk of getting sick with typhoid fever, which is especially important if you are traveling to or staying in risk areas.

Vaccination is especially recommended for travelers to countries where typhoid fever is prevalent and for people working in environments where they may be exposed to the disease.
