Typhoid

At Asclepius Healthcare Clinic (AHC), we offer the Typhoid Vaccination, a critical preventive service designed to protect individuals from typhoid fever, a serious and potentially life-threatening illness caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacteria. Typhoid fever is often contracted through consumption of contaminated food or water, making it a significant concern in areas with poor sanitation. This vaccination is especially important for travelers, people living in high-risk areas, and those with compromised immune systems.

• Prevents Typhoid Fever:

  The Typhoid vaccine effectively protects against Salmonella Typhi, which causes typhoid fever. This disease can lead to high fever, abdominal pain, weakness, and can result in severe complications such as organ failure and septic shock if left untreated.

• Safe & Effective:

  The Typhoid vaccine has been extensively tested and proven to be safe and effective. It is usually given as a single dose for oral vaccines or as an injection, providing immunity for up to 2-3 years, after which a booster may be recommended.

• Ideal for Travelers:

  If you are traveling to areas where typhoid fever is common—such as parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America—the Typhoid vaccine is highly recommended. In these regions, access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation may be limited, increasing the risk of infection.

• Protects Against Serious Illness:

  Typhoid fever can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, dehydration, and long-term complications. The vaccine is an effective way to safeguard your health, especially during travel to high-risk regions.

• Boosts Immunity for At-Risk Populations:

  The vaccine is also recommended for individuals living in areas with limited access to sanitation, healthcare workers, and people who handle food in high-risk settings.
