Typhoid Vaccine at Chappells Pharmacy
Protect yourself and your family against Typhoid fever, a serious bacterial infection that can be life-threatening if left untreated. Chappells Pharmacy offers professional vaccination services to ensure your peace of mind, whether you’re travelling abroad or safeguarding your health.
What is Typhoid?
Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi, resulting in symptoms such as persistent high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and constipation or diarrhoea. The bacteria is primarily spread through:
- Consuming food or water contaminated with faecal matter
- Close contact with an infected person who is a carrier
- Poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene practices
While most people recover with antibiotic treatment, Typhoid fever can lead to serious complications including intestinal bleeding, perforation, and even death if left untreated. The disease remains common in parts of the world with limited access to clean water and proper sanitation.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
The Typhoid vaccine is strongly recommended for:
- Travellers visiting countries where Typhoid is common (particularly parts of South Asia, Africa, and Central and South America)
- Individuals visiting friends and relatives in high-risk countries
- Healthcare workers who may come into contact with Typhoid patients
- Laboratory workers who may handle Salmonella Typhi bacteria
- People living in households with a Typhoid carrier
- Aid workers and volunteers travelling to regions with poor sanitation
- Anyone staying in high-risk areas for extended periods
- People who may be exposed to potentially contaminated food and water
