Do you need a typhoid vaccination?

If you are going away to a country in an area of poor sanitation where you are likely to be exposed to typhoid, you should speak to your pharmacist about getting vaccinated. They can give you a consultation and administer the vaccination. The typhoid vaccination comes in two forms: a single injection or a course of capsules to be take every other day for three doses.

It is a private (paid for) service available to non-pregnant adults and children over 2 (injection) or 5 years old (capsules). You may be eligible for a free vaccine on the NHS through your GP practice.
