Description

Typhoid vaccination is recommended in the following:

Persons at risk of intimate exposure (e.g., continued household contact) to a known typhoid carrier or patient
Food handlers such as dietary personnel, cooks, waiters, servers, dieticians, nutritionists
Microbiology laboratory workers with frequent contact with cultures of S. typhi
School-age children and young adults in areas where typhoid fever in these age groups is a significant public health problem, and particularly where antibiotic-resistant S. typhi strains are prevalent
Travelers to areas where typhoid fever is endemic
Healthcare personnel
Police, Armed forces and such other regimented personnel

There is no evidence to support the use of typhoid vaccine to control common source outbreaks, disease following natural disaster or in persons attending rural summer camps.
Typhoid vaccine should not be used to treat a patient with typhoid fever or a chronic typhoid carrier.
