The typhoid vaccine helps protect against typhoid fever, a serious bacterial illness caused
by
Salmonella Typhi.
The disease spreads through the consumption of food or water contaminated with human
faeces.
This mode of transmission is also seen in other infections such as cholera
and
enterotoxigenic
Escherichia coli (ETEC).
Without vaccination or timely treatment, typhoid fever can lead to serious health complications.
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection that
affects multiple organs in the body.
After entering the digestive system, Salmonella Typhi can multiply and spread into the bloodstream,
leading to widespread inflammation and systemic symptoms.
The illness is more common in
regions such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America,
where access to clean water and proper sanitation may be limited.
Typhoid fever typically presents with the following symptoms:
If left untreated, the illness can progress to more serious complications such as intestinal bleeding or perforation.
The typhoid vaccine is recommended for individuals who may be exposed to
Salmonella Typhi during travel or certain activities.
This includes:
If you are unsure whether you need the vaccine, consult your doctor for guidance based on your travel plans and personal health risks.
The typhoid vaccine is usually administered as an injection into a muscle, most commonly the upper arm.
For adults and children aged 3 years and above, a
single dose of the typhoid vaccine is recommended.
It should be administered at
least two weeks before potential exposure, such as prior to travel to high-risk areas.
A booster dose of the typhoid vaccine is recommended every three years if the risk of exposure to typhoid fever persists.
Some people may experience mild side effects after receiving the typhoid vaccine. These can include:
These reactions are usually temporary. However, you should seek medical advice if they persist or become more severe.
Although uncommon, some individuals may experience severe allergic responses. Symptoms to look out for include:
Seek immediate medical attention if any of these signs occur after vaccination.
