About Typhoid
Typhoid fever is prevalent in regions with poor sanitation and inadequate access to clean water, particularly in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Consuming contaminated food or water can lead to typhoid infection, resulting in high fever, abdominal pain, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Will I need a Typhoid jab to travel?
The typhoid vaccine is recommended for travelers visiting areas where typhoid is endemic or where sanitation standards may be lacking. This includes backpackers, adventure travellers, missionaries, and anyone spending an extended period in regions with poor sanitation.
