Typhoid fever remains a serious concern for travellers visiting South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and other regions with inadequate sanitation. With over 11 million cases worldwide annually, typhoid poses a real threat to British travellers. It’s particularly those visiting friends and relatives in endemic areas.
At our Slough travel clinic, injectable typhoid vaccination and typhoid–hepatitis A combination vaccination alongside comprehensive travel health consultations. Our experienced pharmacists assess your individual risk and recommend the most appropriate vaccine. It’s based on your destination, duration of stay, and travel activities.
Call us or use our online booking system to schedule your travel health consultation. We recommend booking 6–8 weeks before departure to allow time for vaccines requiring multiple doses, though same-day appointments are available for urgent travel.
Our pharmacist will review your travel itinerary, medical history, and previous vaccinations to determine which vaccines, including the typhoid vaccine, and any antimalarial medications you need. You will receive your typhoid vaccination during this appointment, along with detailed health advice tailored to your destination.
Full protection develops 2–3 weeks after vaccination. You'll receive documentation of all vaccines administered for your records and future travel. Your typhoid vaccine provides protection for up to three years, after which revaccination may be required. So keep your records safe for subsequent trips.
Typhoid fever is a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi. The disease spreads through contaminated food and water and causes prolonged high fever, severe abdominal symptoms, and systemic illness. Without proper treatment, typhoid can lead to serious complications including intestinal perforation and death.
Typhoid is particularly prevalent in areas where basic sanitation is limited and access to clean drinking water is unreliable. British travellers visiting family in South Asia account for a significant proportion of imported typhoid cases in the UK.
The vaccine provides high protection against Salmonella typhi. It does not protect against paratyphoid fever. Strict food and water hygiene are still essential. It significantly reduces your risk during travel to endemic areas. Whilst no vaccine offers complete protection, vaccination combined with careful food and water precautions dramatically lowers your infection risk.

Typhoid vaccination is recommended for travellers visiting countries where the disease is endemic. Particularly if you’ll be staying in areas with questionable sanitation or eating local street food. Our travel health specialists assess your personal risk based on your complete itinerary and circumstances.
Our pharmacists review your medical history and current health status to ensure the typhoid vaccine is appropriate and safe for you.
Typhoid fever develops gradually, typically 6–30 days after infection (most commonly 10–14 days). Early symptoms resemble common viral illnesses. Thus making diagnosis challenging without proper medical assessment. Untreated typhoid progressively worsens over several weeks.
If you develop prolonged fever during or after travel to a typhoid-endemic area, seek immediate medical attention. Always inform healthcare providers about your recent travel history, as early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are essential for recovery.
The injectable typhoid vaccine is well-tolerated by most people. Common side effects like site soreness or headache usually resolve within 48 to 72 hours. The single-injection format makes it convenient for those with limited time before departure.

We offer flexible scheduling including same-day appointments for urgent pre-departure requirements. Whilst we recommend booking 6–8 weeks before travel when possible, we accommodate last-minute travellers with pressing departure dates.
