Oral Typhoid Vaccine - The Pharmacy Bebington
Travelling abroad can expose you to illnesses that are not common in the UK. Typhoid fever is one such condition, often spread through contaminated food and water. The oral typhoid vaccine provided at our pharmacy in Bebington offers an easy and effective way to protect you before your trip.
What Is the Oral Typhoid Vaccine?
How Does the Oral Typhoid Fever Vaccine Work?
The typhoid fever oral vaccine contains a weakened form of the bacteria in capsule form. By swallowing the capsules as advised, your immune system learns to recognise and fight the bacteria. This gives you protection if you are exposed to typhoid when travelling.
How Many Doses are Needed?
The oral typhoid vaccine is usually taken as a course of capsules over several days. Our pharmacists will explain the correct schedule to make sure you are fully protected.
How Long Does It Last?
Protection from the typhoid fever oral vaccine normally lasts for around three years. After this time, a booster may be needed if you remain at risk.
