ESSENTIAL PROTECTION

Two Ways to Get Protected

Same protection either way — the choice is entirely down to you

Choose Injection or Oral Capsules

Pick What Suits You

Typhoid spreads through contaminated food and water wherever sanitation is patchy. We offer two routes to roughly 3 years' protection: a single injection, or three oral capsules taken on alternate days. Neither gives full protection — expect somewhere around 50 to 80% — so food and water hygiene still matters while you travel.

  • Injection: One and Done

    A single jab, ideally 2 weeks or more before you travel.

  • Capsules: Skip the Needle

    Three capsules on alternate days, finished at least a week before you fly.

  • Pairs Well With Other Jabs

    Book it alongside most other travel vaccines, Hepatitis A included.

KNOW THE RISKS

Typhoid, Explained

A bacterial infection that follows poor food and water hygiene

A sealed bottle of water — sticking to bottled water lowers typhoid risk

Salmonella Typhi

The bacteria behind it usually hitches a ride on contaminated food or water.

What to Watch For

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

Where It Shows Up

South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central and South America and parts of the Middle East see the most cases.

Meaningfully Preventable

Vaccination combined with decent food and water hygiene cuts your risk well.

CRITICAL WARNING

Neither Option Covers You Completely

Whichever you pick, you're looking at roughly 50 to 80% protection — not full immunity. Stick to bottled or boiled water and steer clear of raw or undercooked food from anywhere you're not sure about.

TYPHOID FAQs

Common Questions

Protection-wise, they're about the same over 3 years, so it's really down to preference. Injection means one visit and you're done; capsules skip the needle but need three doses on alternate days.

Injection: at least 2 weeks out. Capsules: finished at least a week before you fly. Earlier is always better for immunity to fully develop.

Yes — either format can be booked alongside most other travel vaccines, Hepatitis A included.

Not quite — both options land around 50 to 80% protection, not 100%. Keep an eye on food and water hygiene regardless.

Injection: temporary soreness, redness or swelling where the needle went in. Capsules: occasionally a mild stomach upset. Serious reactions are rare either way.
