Typhim Patient Information including If I Miss a Dose

What happens if I miss a dose (Typhim)?

What happens if I overdose (Typhim)?

An overdose of this vaccine is unlikely to occur.

What should I avoid before or after getting typhoid vaccine (Typhim)?

In addition to receiving typhoid vaccine, take precautions while traveling to further prevent coming into contact with bacteria that cause typhoid fever:

Avoid eating leafy vegetables such as spinach or lettuce, which are harder to wash properly.
Avoid eating raw fruits or vegetables that cannot be peeled, or that have been peeled by another person.
Avoid drinks that contain ice, or frozen treats and flavored ices that may have been made with contaminated water.
Avoid eating foods you have not cooked or prepared yourself. Use clean surfaces and utensils when preparing food.
Drink only bottled water (carbonated is best) or water that has been boiled for at least 1 minute.
Avoid any food or beverage purchased from a street vendor.
