Vaccination - Typhoid fever
Vaccination against typhoid fever is recommended if you're travelling to parts of the world where the condition is common.
High-risk areas
Typhoid fever is found throughout the world, but you're more likely to get it in areas where there's poor sanitation and hygiene.
Typhoid vaccine schedule
High-risk areas include:
- the Indian subcontinent
- Africa
- south and southeast Asia
- South America
Vaccination is strongly recommended if you're going to be staying or working with local people, or if you're going to be staying for prolonged periods in areas where sanitation and food hygiene are likely to be poor.
In the UK, most people who get typhoid fever develop it while visiting India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.
It's therefore particularly important that you're vaccinated if you're visiting these countries.
Vaccination against typhoid fever is usually free on the NHS from GP surgeries. Private travel clinics also offer the vaccine for about £30.
