Typhoid Vaccine in Hounslow

What Is Typhoid?

Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, spread through contaminated food and water. It causes high fever, abdominal pain, and in severe cases can be life-threatening without treatment.

Do I Need the Typhoid Vaccine?

Typhoid vaccine is strongly recommended for travel to South Asia, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of South America and the Middle East. Given the large South Asian community in Hounslow, this is one of our most requested vaccines.

When Should I Get Vaccinated?

At least 2 weeks before departure is ideal, but the vaccine can be given at any point before travel. Contact us for same-day availability.

How Many Doses Do I Need?

A single injection provides protection for 3 years. No booster dose is required within this period.

Side Effects of the Typhoid Vaccine

Side effects are generally mild: soreness at the injection site, mild fever, and headache. These resolve quickly.
