Illustration: Typhoid fever protection for travel

What is Typhoid?

Typhoid vaccination comes as a single Vi polysaccharide injection (Typhim Vi) or a live oral capsule course (Vivotif). Both protect against Salmonella Typhi; the consultation matches the format to the traveller.

The condition it treats

Typhoid fever is a systemic bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, common where sanitation is poor, notably South Asia. Protection matters most for travellers visiting friends and relatives, who eat furthest from tourist kitchens.

How the service runs on Scripter

Patients book online, complete the pre-consultation questionnaire, and the guided pathway walks the practitioner through the typhoid fever protection for travel consultation with the screening and counselling steps built in. The supply decision, the record and any GP notification are produced in the same flow, documented against the exact protocol version in force.

Training and eligibility requirements.

Who can deliver this service, and who it can be delivered to. The governing PGD document defines the definitive inclusion, exclusion and supply criteria; the Scripter consultation pathway enforces them, and every consultation is documented against the protocol version it ran under.

Typhoid PGD questions

Injection or capsules: which is better?+

Protection is broadly comparable; the injection is one visit, the capsules are three doses at home with storage and timing rules. The consultation picks with the traveller, not for them.

How long does protection last?+

Around three years for the injectable and about the same for the completed oral course; the record dates it so the next trip's consultation knows instantly.

Why do the capsules have so many rules?+

Vivotif is a live vaccine taken on an empty stomach, kept refrigerated, spaced across days and separated from antibiotics; the counselling step turns that into a simple calendar.
