Typhoid Vaccine

Product Description

Inactivated Typhoid Vaccine (shot) One dose provides protection. It should be given at least 2 weeks before travel to allow the vaccine time to work. A booster dose is needed every 2 years for people who remain at risk.

How the Typhoid Vaccine Works

This vaccine functions by introducing a purified Vi polysaccharide of Salmonella typhi into the body. This prompts the immune system to produce specific antibodies, providing protection against typhoid fever. It is a prophylactic solution, meaning it helps prevent illness before exposure to the bacteria, ensuring broad community health safety.


Proper Storage and Handling Instructions

To retain potency, the Typhoid Vaccine must be stored between 2C and 8C. Avoid freezing the product as it can compromise its efficacy. Whether using glass vials or pre-filled syringes, always check the integrity and expiration date before administration, and keep the vaccine in a dedicated refrigeration unit intended for medical use.


Ideal Use and Administration Process

Typhoid Vaccine is administered as a single 0.5 ml injection under the skin or into the muscle by a qualified healthcare professional. The vaccine is suitable for both children and adults over 2 years of age and requires a prescription. This ensures the safety and appropriateness of immunization as per individual medical histories.
