Typhoid (typhoid fever) is a serious disease. It is caused by bacteria called SalmonellaTyphi. Typhoid causes a high fever, weakness, stomach pains, headache, loss of appetite, and sometimes a rash. If it is not treated, it can kill up to 30 percent of people who get it.Some people who get typhoid become “carriers,” who can spread the disease to others.Generally, people get typhoid from contaminated food or water.

Typhoid strikes about 21 million people a year around the world and kills about 200,000.

Vaccine:

There are two vaccines to prevent typhoid. One is an inactivated (killed) vaccinegotten as a shot, and the other is live, attenuated (weakened) vaccine, which is taken orally (by mouth).Typhoid vaccine is recommended for:
Travelers to parts of the world where typhoid is common
(NOTE: typhoid vaccine is not 100 percent effective and is not a substitute for being careful about what you eat or drink.)
People in close contact with a typhoid carrier

Laboratory workers who work with Salmonella Typhi bacteria

INACTIVATED TYPHOID VACCINE (SHOT)

A booster dose is needed every two years for people who remain at risk.

LIVE TYPHOID VACCINE (ORAL)

Should not be given to children younger than six years of age
Four doses, given two days apart, are needed for protection. The last dose should be given at least 1 week before travel to allow the vaccine time to work.
