1. Do I need the typhoid vaccine every time I travel?
The typhoid vaccine should be given at least 1 month before you travel, but it can be given closer to your travel date if necessary. Booster vaccinations are recommended every 3 years if you continue to be at risk of infection.
2. Which vaccine is better - injection or oral?
While the injection has a shorter course of treatment, it can be more expensive than the oral vaccine. Book a travel consultation at a Village Pharmacy travel health specialist at our travel clinic to help you decide which is right for you.
3. What are the side effects of the typhoid vaccine?
Like most injections, you may experience pain at the injection site. Side effects such as fever and headache are extremely rare but possible with the typhoid vaccine.
4. How long does a typhoid vaccine last?
The typhoid vaccination injection provides protection for up to 3 years.
