Hepatitis A + Typhoid Vaccination

Get vaccinated at least 2 weeks before travel for effective protection. This dual vaccine provides immunity against both hepatitis A and typhoid, which are common in areas with poor sanitation. A booster for hepatitis A may be required after 6 to 12 months for long-term protection. Your pharmacist will advise on the best schedule for you.

Further Information

Side Effects: Common side effects of the vaccine include soreness or redness at the injection site, mild fever, headache, nausea, and fatigue.

Additional Precautions: In regions where hepatitis A and typhoid are prevalent, maintaining proper hand hygiene and consuming only bottled or purified water is essential. Avoid raw or undercooked food, particularly seafood and street food. When traveling to areas with limited medical resources, consider carrying oral rehydration salts and basic antibiotics for emergency use.

Risks Caused by Hepatitis A & Typhoid: Hepatitis A can lead to flu-like symptoms, jaundice, and liver inflammation, while typhoid fever can cause prolonged high fever, abdominal pain, severe dehydration, and, in some cases, intestinal complications.
