Typhoid vaccination

What is Typhoid?

Typhoid is a bacterial infection acquired through contaminated food or water. It may cause a persistent fever, headache and abdominal symptoms and can become serious without treatment.

Who should consider vaccination?

Vaccination may be advised for destinations where typhoid is common, especially when visiting family or staying where food and water hygiene is uncertain.

Your vaccination plan

Injectable and oral vaccine schedules differ. The suitable product and timing will be explained at your consultation. Vaccination does not replace careful food and water hygiene.

At your appointment

• Bring your travel dates, destinations and previous vaccination records.
• Tell us about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions and any previous vaccine reactions.
• We’ll explain suitability, possible side effects, the cost and any follow-up doses before you decide.

Your questions, answered

Can I book this vaccine directly?

Yes, you can request this service. The pharmacist will assess suitability and confirm availability before treatment. If you are unsure, select a travel-health consultation.

What if I have already had some doses?

Bring any records you have. The pharmacist will check your previous course and discuss what, if anything, is needed next.

Will I need another appointment?

That depends on the vaccine and your history. We’ll explain the schedule; one booking reserves one appointment, not an entire course.
