Typhoid vaccination

Typhoid vaccination may be recommended for certain travellers based on their destination, length of stay, and planned activities. It may be particularly relevant for travel to regions where food or water exposure may increase the risk of disease.

Recommended for

• Travellers visiting parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America where typhoid fever is more common
• Travellers planning longer stays in these regions
• Travellers who expect to visit rural areas or have close contact with local communities

Typhoid vaccine availability, eligibility, and fees may vary by province and participating pharmacy location. Check your vaccination needs at least six weeks before departure, since some travel vaccines may require more than one dose or time to provide protection. Bring your itinerary, departure date, immunization card, and any available vaccination record so your personal pharmacist can help review your travel health needs.
