Service Providers for Typherix (Typhoid)
Typherix is a vaccine used to protect against typhoid fever, a bacterial infection caused by *Salmonella Typhi*. The vaccine contains inactivated bacteria and helps the immune system develop immunity to the infection without causing illness. Typherix is typically administered as a single injection, usually given to individuals traveling to areas where typhoid fever is common, or to people who may be at higher risk, such as healthcare workers or those in close contact with infected individuals. The vaccine is usually recommended for people aged 2 years and older. Common side effects include mild pain or swelling at the injection site, fever, or headache. Typherix provides protection for about 3 years, after which a booster dose may be needed.
