If you’re planning to travel to a region where typhoid fever
is common, one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself is
get vaccinated against this potentially life-threatening illness. Typhoid
fever, caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacteria, is spread through
contaminated food or water, and it’s still a significant health risk in many
parts of the world.
The typhoid vaccine is strongly recommended for
people who are traveling to countries or regions where typhoid fever is common.
Typhoid fever remains a concern in parts of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and
the Middle East, where sanitation may be poor and access to clean drinking
water is limited.
The Typhoid vaccine is recommended for adults
traveling to regions where typhoid is common, and should be administered at
least 2 weeks before travel. The vaccine is typically given as a single
dose.
