ESSENTIAL PROTECTION

The Typhoid Vaccine

Two formats, similar protection — pick whichever suits you better

Typhoid protection is available as an injection or oral capsules
Choose Injection or Oral Capsules

Two Ways to Protect Yourself

Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation. We offer two options that give similar protection for around 3 years: a single injection, or a course of three oral capsules taken on alternate days. Both offer roughly 50 to 80% protection, so it's still worth being careful with food and water hygiene while travelling.

  • Injection: Single Dose

    One jab, ideally at least 2 weeks before you travel.

  • Capsules: No Needles

    Three capsules taken on alternate days, completed at least a week before travel.

  • Combine With Other Vaccines

    Typhoid vaccination can be given alongside most other travel vaccines, including Hepatitis A.

KNOW THE RISKS

What is Typhoid?

A bacterial infection linked to contaminated food and water

Washing hands under running water — good food and water hygiene lowers typhoid risk

Bacterial Infection

Caused by Salmonella typhi, usually picked up from contaminated food or water.

Typical Symptoms

High fever, weakness, stomach pain, headache and loss of appetite.

Found Widely

More common across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and parts of the Middle East.

Preventable

Vaccination plus good food and water hygiene significantly lowers your risk.

CRITICAL WARNING

Neither Option Is 100% Protective

Both the injection and the capsules give roughly 50 to 80% protection, so it's still worth being careful with food and water — stick to bottled or boiled water, and avoid raw or undercooked food from unreliable sources.

TYPHOID FAQs

Common Questions

Both give similar protection for around 3 years, so it largely comes down to preference. The injection is quicker (one visit, done), while the capsules avoid a needle but need three doses taken on alternate days.

The injection should ideally be given at least 2 weeks before you travel. The capsule course should be completed at least a week before travel. Earlier is always better to give full immunity time to develop.

Yes — typhoid vaccination (either option) can be given at the same appointment as most other travel vaccines, including Hepatitis A.

No — both options give roughly 50 to 80% protection, not complete protection. It's still worth being careful with food and water hygiene while you travel.

The injection can cause temporary soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site. The capsules can occasionally cause mild stomach upset. Serious side effects are rare and most people experience no issues.
