NHS Service
The typhoid vaccination is a preventive step to take against typhoid fever, a bacterial infection caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacterium. Typhoid fever is transmitted through contaminated food and water, particularly in regions with inadequate sanitation. The vaccine is a vital step to take for travellers to areas where typhoid is endemic and for individuals at risk due to certain lifestyle factors. If you’re planning to travel abroad, speak to the health professionals at Touchwood Pharmacy Odiham about your need for vaccination.
Are there any side effects associated with the typhoid vaccination?

Like all vaccines and medicines, there is always the possibility of side effects. The typhoid vaccination can have side effects, but they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include pain or redness at the injection site, mild fever, and fatigue. Serious side effects are rare.

Can I get the typhoid vaccination through the NHS in the UK?

Like most vaccinations for travel purposes, the typhoid vaccination is not available from the NHS. If you are planning to travel to regions with poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene, where the risk of typhoid infection is higher, then a Typhoid vaccination is a must.
