How long does protection last?

Protection from the injectable vaccine lasts around three years. A booster is advised if you remain at ongoing risk.

When should I book before travel?

Aim to book at least one month before you go. We can still vaccinate closer to departure if needed.

Do I still need food and water precautions?

Yes. The vaccine is not 100 percent protective, so careful food and water hygiene remains vital.

Can children have the vaccine?

The injection can be given from age two, with suitability assessed at appointment. We will discuss the best option for your child.

Are there side effects?

Most side effects are mild, such as a sore arm, headache, or a low fever. We explain what to expect and when to seek help.

Can I get a combined hepatitis A and typhoid jab?

Yes, a combined vaccine exists and may suit some travellers. We will check availability and whether it fits your plans.

What the vaccine does?

Typhoid is a serious infection spread through contaminated food and water. Vaccination reduces your risk if you are visiting higher risk regions in Asia, Africa, or parts of Central and South America. You should still follow strict food and water precautions.

Two vaccine types are used in the UK. A single injection provides protection for up to three years. Oral capsules are an option for some travellers. A combined vaccine with hepatitis A may be suitable. We will advise on the best option for your trip and health.

Protection is not complete. Good hygiene remains essential. Wash hands before eating. Drink sealed bottled water. Avoid ice unless you are sure the source is safe. Choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot. Peel fruit yourself where possible.

Book early where you can. Aim for vaccination at least 2 to 4 weeks before departure. We can still help if you are travelling sooner. Our South Ealing team serves Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Brentford, and West London with clear advice and careful screening.

What to look for

When to book and who needs it?

Most travellers to areas with poor sanitation should consider a typhoid vaccine. This includes backpacking, visiting friends and relatives, long stays, or repeated travel. We assess itinerary, duration, and personal risks, then tailor advice to your plans.
