Typhoid Vi Polysacch Vaccine

What is Typhim Vi used for?

This vaccine is used to help prevent typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is an infection that can be spread by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. This vaccine works by increasing the body's natural defense (immunity) against the bacteria. This vaccine is recommended for people who are traveling to areas where the infection is common (such as Africa, Asia, Central/South America), those who are in close contact to someone with an ongoing typhoid infection, and those who work with the bacteria (Salmonella typhi) in a lab. Vaccines may not fully protect everyone who receives them.
