What is typhoid?
Typhoid is an illness caused by bacteria, which spreads through contaminated food or water. It is most common in travelers visiting South Asia (e.g., India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives), East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Typhoid disease causes these symptoms:
– headache
– fever (temperature over 38.5 °C or 101.3 °F) that gets worse over 1 week
– appetite loss
– constipation
– diarrhea
What is Vivaxim®?
Vivaxim® is a Travel Immunisation Hep A & Typhoid vaccine that combines protection against both diseases. It is suitable for individuals over 12 years old and requires only one dose before travel.
Vivaxim® can also start a Hep A and Typhoid vaccine series for long-term hepatitis A immunity. To achieve full protection, a second hepatitis A dose is required 6 months later. Once completed, no further boosters are needed.
The typhoid component of Vivaxim® provides protection for 2 years against typhoid disease.
