QUERY REGARDING TYPHOID CONJUGATE VACCIN

2020-08-29 09:56:41
My doctor told me to get vaccinated with a typhoid conjugate vaccine 3 yrs back but I didn't pay any heed to it at that time. But now I want to get vaccinated for it. What is the use of this vaccine ? Does it prevent typhoid ? If yes, then immunity lasts for how many years ? After, getting vaccinated is the person safe from typhoid and para typhoid ? Can you please tell me any other typhoid conjugate vaccine apart from "PedaTyph" ?

For most people, the typhoid vaccine is not necessary. However, for people who travel in small towns or rural areas, are staying in areas without standard tourist accommodations, or who choose to eat foods likely to be contaminated with the bacteria, the benefits of the vaccine do outweigh the risks.
