Avoid vaccination at this stage, because instead of helping, it can aggravate fever.

While receiving an injectable typhoid vaccine during an active typhoid infection is not dangerous or life-threatening, it is clinically ineffective. The primary purpose of a vaccine is to 'train' the immune system to recognize a pathogen before it encounters the real disease. Since your body is already actively fighting the Salmonella typhi bacteria, your immune system is fully engaged in an 'acute' response. Adding a vaccine at this time will not provide additional protection and may even lead to a slightly higher fever as your immune system is further stimulated."
Next Steps
Focus on Treatment: "The priority now is completing your full course of antibiotics and maintaining strict hydration. A vaccine cannot treat an existing infection; only targeted medical therapy and rest will help you recover."
Delay Re-Vaccination: "Wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after your complete recovery (when you have been fever-free without medication) before considering a fresh dose of the vaccine. This ensures your immune system is 'rested' and can respond optimally to the vaccine for long-term immunity."
Blood Culture Check: "If you are currently experiencing high-grade fever, I recommend a Widal test or Blood Culture. Confirming the strain of typhoid is essential to ensure your current antibiotics are effective against the specific bacteria in your system."
