Overview

Typhim Vi Vaccine (single 0.5ml syringe) is a vaccine that helps protect against typhoid fever, a serious bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water. It contains a purified component of the Salmonella Typhi bacterium (the Vi polysaccharide) that prompts the immune system to build protection. It is widely used for travellers to areas where typhoid is common and for those at occupational risk. This medicine is administered under specialist medical supervision only.

Directions for Use

This is a prescription medicine. Dosage is determined by your prescribing doctor based on your individual needs. Do not adjust your dose without medical supervision. Administered as a single injection by a healthcare professional, usually into the upper arm muscle, ideally at least a couple of weeks before potential exposure (such as travel). Protection lasts a few years, and a booster is needed for continued protection if risk continues. Your clinician will advise on timing and boosters. This vaccine is administered under medical supervision.

Given by a healthcare professional, who will check suitability and advise. Tell the vaccinator about allergies (especially a previous reaction to this vaccine), any current significant illness or fever (vaccination may be postponed), pregnancy or breastfeeding, and a weakened immune system. Common, usually mild reactions include soreness at the injection site, headache and a brief fever. The vaccine reduces but does not guarantee protection. Continue safe food and water precautions when travelling. Serious allergic reactions are rare; you may be asked to wait briefly after the injection.
