Can I still get typhoid if I’m careful with food?
Yes. Even careful travelers can be exposed through contaminated food, beverages, or water. Vaccination adds an important layer of protection but does not replace safe food and water practices.
How early should I get vaccinated?
We generally recommend scheduling your travel consultation several weeks before departure to allow time for vaccination and any additional travel preparations.
Do I need other vaccines too?
Possibly. Depending on your destination, additional vaccines such as Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies, Cholera, or Meningococcal vaccine may be recommended.
