Yes it is recommended for all by Indian academy of pediatrics as typhoid is a serious and common disease. The person affected by this disease requires admission for a couple of weeks and it is now resistant to many antibiotics nowadays. So vaccine is recommended by WHO also in countries where this disease is common in india. you should take it if you can afford it
