Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of typhoid fever include vaccination, improving personal hygiene and sanitation,[1] ensuring proper sewage disposal, avoiding overcrowding, and avoiding close contact or sharing utensils with people already suffering from typhoid.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][7]
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of typhoid fever include:
Vaccination
There are two types of vaccines for typhoid fever:[2][4][5][6][9][7][10]
- Inactivated typhoid vaccine, ViCPS (IM)
- Live typhoid vaccine (oral)
Indications[11][12][13][14][6][15]
- Travel to endemic areas
- Health care workers or researchers dealing typhoid patients or handling Salmonella typhi
- Individuals at increased risk of acquiring infection (e.g., household contacts of a patient with typhoid fever)
- To prevent typhoid epidemic in case of natural disasters or the presence of a refugee camp in an endemic area
- Severe allergic reaction to the vaccine component
- Severely ill or immunocompromised patients
- Severe reaction to previous dose
- Children younger than 2 years of age for inactivated vaccine
- Children younger than 6 years of age for live attenuated vaccine
- Pregnancy
The table below provides basic information about the typhoid vaccines that are available in the United States:
Other measures
The following preventive measures help decrease incidence of typhoid in endemic areas:[6][18]
- Improving personal hygiene and sanitation
- Implementing proper sewage disposal
- Avoiding overcrowding
- Avoiding close contact or sharing utensils with people already suffering from typhoid
The following preventive measures help prevent disease in people traveling to endemic areas:[6][19][20]
- Avoiding consumption of foods and beverages purchased from street vendors
- Avoiding consumption of raw fruits and vegetables that cannot be peeled
- Avoiding consumption of ice cream
