Typhoid fever is a gastrointestinal infection that spreads through contaminated food and water and from person to person. The disease is characterised by a prolonged fever, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, headache, chills, sore throat, muscle aches and cough.

For adults and children aged two years and older, a single dose provides protection. The vaccine should be administered at least two weeks before traveling to a typhoid-endemic area. If there is a continued risk of exposure to typhus, revaccination should be done every three years.

All vaccinations done at Confido are recorded in your vaccination passport, which we ask you to take with you when you come to get vaccinated. If necessary, we will issue a new passport for an additional fee.
