The Typhoid Vaccine
Two formats, similar protection — pick whichever suits you better
Two Ways to Protect Yourself
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation. We offer two options that give similar protection for around 3 years: a single injection, or a course of three oral capsules taken on alternate days. Both offer roughly 50 to 80% protection, so it’s still worth being careful with food and water hygiene while travelling.
One jab, ideally at least 2 weeks before you travel.
Three capsules taken on alternate days, completed at least a week before travel.
Typhoid vaccination can be given alongside most other travel vaccines, including Hepatitis A.
What is Typhoid?
A bacterial infection linked to contaminated food and water
Caused by Salmonella typhi, usually picked up from contaminated food or water.
High fever, weakness, stomach pain, headache and loss of appetite.
More common across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and parts of the Middle East.
Vaccination plus good food and water hygiene significantly lowers your risk.
Which option suits you?
Both give similar protection — the right choice comes down to personal preference

What to expect at your appointment
A simple, friendly visit to our Wilmslow clinic
We talk through your itinerary and help you decide between the injection or capsules.
One dose, given in the upper arm — most people feel only a brief scratch.
Three capsules to take on alternate days, with clear instructions on timing.
Injection: soreness at the injection site. Capsules: occasional mild stomach upset.
We’ll also cover hygiene precautions, since neither option gives full protection alone.
Not available on the NHS for travel purposes, so we offer it privately with no referral needed.
Common Questions
Which option should I choose — injection or capsules?
Both give similar protection for around 3 years, so it largely comes down to preference. The injection is quicker (one visit, done), while the capsules avoid a needle but need three doses taken on alternate days.
How soon before travel should I have it?
The injection should ideally be given at least 2 weeks before you travel. The capsule course should be completed at least a week before travel. Earlier is always better to give full immunity time to develop.
Can I have this alongside other travel vaccines?
Yes — typhoid vaccination (either option) can be given at the same appointment as most other travel vaccines, including Hepatitis A.
Does vaccination mean I don’t need to worry about food and water?
No — both options give roughly 50 to 80% protection, not complete protection. It’s still worth being careful with food and water hygiene while you travel.
Are there any side effects?
The injection can cause temporary soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site. The capsules can occasionally cause mild stomach upset. Serious side effects are rare and most people experience no issues.
