Typhoid  is a bacterial infection, spread by consuming contaminated food and water. This can lead to a high temperature, headaches constipation or diarrhoea, which if untreated can be fatal.

The majority of global cases of disease occur in Asia, but the disease continues to be a concern in other areas including Africa and parts of Central and South America.

Vaccination is recommended for travellers to high risk areas with poor sanitation, or for travellers who will be unable to maintain good food, water and personal hygiene. Highly recommended for those visiting or staying with local population.
