What Is Typhoid Vaccine?
The Typhoid Vaccine helps prevent typhoid fever, a serious infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It is commonly spread through contaminated food or water, especially in regions with poor sanitation.
Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself against typhoid—especially if you're travelling to high-risk areas in Asia, Africa, or South America.
At Regis Medical, we offer doctor-guided typhoid vaccination with convenient appointments and travel health advice tailored to your itinerary.
What Is Typhoid Fever?
Typhoid fever is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening bacterial infection. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as intestinal bleeding, organ damage, or even death.
Symptoms of typhoid fever include:
- Prolonged high fever
- Weakness or fatigue
- Abdominal pain or constipation
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Diarrhea (sometimes)
- Rash (in some cases)
Typhoid is spread through ingestion of contaminated food or water, often in areas with inadequate sanitation. It can affect healthy travellers and cause illness if exposed.
