How the typhoid jab works

It is a single injection into the upper arm. Your body needs about two weeks to respond, so have it at least a fortnight before you fly if you can. If you are still visiting risk areas three years later, a booster tops your protection back up.

No typhoid vaccine protects everyone, so careful eating and drinking still matter: stick to bottled or treated water, skip ice and raw salads, and wash your hands before meals.

Who should consider it

Travellers staying with local families, eating street food, or spending time in rural areas or places with poor sanitation. Whether you need it depends on your itinerary, activities and health, and we confirm that at your consultation using the latest NaTHNaC guidance.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the typhoid vaccine last?

About three years. If you go back to a risk area after that, you can have a single booster dose.

Ideally two weeks or more before you leave, so it has time to work. Having it later is still better than not having it at all.

How much is the typhoid vaccine in Basingstoke?

£40 for the injection at Basingstoke Travel Clinic. The £20 consultation fee is waived if you go ahead with a vaccine.
