Prices, age ranges and schedules transcribed from travel-vaccine-prices.pdf supplied on 6 September 2026. The pharmacist confirms individual suitability and the schedule that applies. This is service information, not a personal recommendation. The pharmacist checks your health, previous doses, medicines, itinerary and departure date before vaccination.
Why an assessment still matters
A country name or published schedule cannot determine whether this vaccine is suitable for you. Advice may change with stopovers, trip length, activities, pregnancy, immune conditions, allergies, medicines and your existing vaccination record.
Understand the service
What to know before you book
Oral typhoid is a scheduled medicine course
The oral typhoid product is not simply an injection taken by mouth. It has product-specific storage, timing and administration instructions that must be followed for the course to be valid.
Tell the pharmacist about current medicines, recent or planned antibiotics, immune conditions, pregnancy and gastrointestinal illness. These details can affect whether an oral option is suitable or whether another approach should be considered.
Plan completion before travel
The pharmacy sheet lists the number and spacing of capsules, but the clinician confirms the dates and explains how to take them. Do not compress missed doses or replace a capsule without professional advice.
Check that the product can be stored correctly from collection through completion. If departure is close, state the date when booking so there is no false assumption that the course will fit.
Continue food and water precautions
Oral vaccination does not prevent all typhoid and does not cover the many other causes of diarrhoea. Safe water, hand hygiene and careful food choices remain necessary.
Keep a record of the completed course. Seek medical care for significant fever or persistent illness and share the full travel history and any medicines taken.

Do antibiotics matter?
They may. Tell the pharmacist about recent, current or planned antibiotics.
Can the capsules be stored anywhere?
No. Follow the storage instructions supplied with the specific product.
Is oral vaccine better than injected vaccine?
