Travel-Typhoid

Generally, people
get typhoid from
contaminated food or
water. Typhoid is not
common in the U.S.,
and most U.S. citizens
who get the disease
get it while traveling.

What is typhoid?
Typhoid (typhoid fever) is a serious disease. It is caused by bacteria called Salmonella
Typhi. Typhoid causes a high fever, weakness, stomach pains, headache, loss of appetite,
and sometimes a rash. If it is not treated, it can kill up to 30% of people who get it. Some
people who get typhoid become "carriers," who can spread the disease to others. Generally,
people get typhoid from contaminated food or water. Typhoid is not common in the U.S.,
and most U.S. citizens who get the disease get it while traveling. Typhoid strikes about
21 million people a year around the world and kills about 200,000.
Who should get typhoid vaccine?
Routine typhoid vaccination is not recommended in the United States, but typhoid
vaccine is recommended for:
* Travelers to parts of the world where typhoid is common. (NOTE: typhoid vaccine is
not 100% effective and is not a substitute for being careful about what you eat or drink.)
* People in close contact with a typhoid carrier.
* Laboratory workers who work with Salmonella Typhi bacteria.
What types of typhoid vaccine are there?
There are two vaccines to prevent typhoid. One is an inactivated (killed) vaccine gotten as a shot,
and the other is live, attenuated (weakened) vaccine which is taken orally (by mouth).
