Essential Health Protection for Overseas Travellers
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection common in many developing countries. It is spread through contaminated food and water. If you are travelling to parts of Asia, Africa, or Latin America, the typhoid vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect yourself from this potentially severe illness.
What is Typhoid?
Caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi, typhoid fever leads to a sustained high fever, weakness, stomach pains, headache, and loss of appetite. Without treatment, it can lead to serious complications and can be fatal.
Why Get Vaccinated?
The vaccine significantly reduces your risk of contracting typhoid fever, allowing you to travel with greater peace of mind. It is a key part of a comprehensive travel health plan, alongside practicing good food and water hygiene.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
Vaccination is recommended for travellers aged 2 years and older who are heading to regions where typhoid is common.
