Protect yourself against typhoid fever before you travel with our private Typhoid Vaccination service.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi. It is usually spread through contaminated food and water and is more common in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and other regions where sanitation standards may differ from those in the UK.
Our Typhoid Vaccination helps reduce your risk of infection when travelling to destinations where typhoid is more common or where vaccination is recommended.
Before vaccination, one of our healthcare professionals will review your travel plans, medical history and individual circumstances to determine whether the vaccine is suitable for you.

The Typhoid vaccine may be suitable for:
Travellers visiting destinations where typhoid is more common or where vaccination is recommended

Please note

Protection lasts for approximately three years. If you remain at risk of typhoid or are travelling again after this time, a booster vaccination is recommended.
