Typhoid Vaccine in Melaka
Typhoid Vaccine
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, spreading through contaminated food and water. In Malaysia, the risk is higher for food handlers, travelers, and individuals in high-risk areas. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent typhoid fever and its complications. At Klinik Liysha, we offer the typhoid vaccine to help safeguard your health.
Why Get the Typhoid Vaccine?
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including intestinal perforation and organ failure. The typhoid vaccine significantly reduces your risk of infection, especially if you:
- Work in the food industry (required by Malaysian health regulations)
- Plan to travel to typhoid-endemic areas
- Have close contact with someone infected with typhoid fever
- Live in or frequently visit areas with poor sanitation
Getting a Typhoid Vaccine During Pregnancy
Getting vaccinated against typhoid fever during pregnancy requires careful consideration. While no typhoid vaccine is explicitly recommended for routine use in pregnant women, doctors may suggest vaccination if the risk of infection is high, such as during travel to areas where typhoid is common.
While studies on pregnancy safety are limited, inactivated vaccines generally pose minimal risk to both the mother and baby. Given as a single injection, it provides protection for about two years.

FAQ on the Typhoid Vaccine
Frequently Asked Questions
The typhoid vaccine is recommended for individuals travelling to regions where typhoid fever is endemic or common, especially if their travel involves exposure to unsanitary conditions or consumption of contaminated food and water. It may also be recommended for certain high-risk populations or individuals working in healthcare settings where they may come into contact with typhoid patients.
It’s recommended to get the typhoid vaccine at least 1-2 weeks before travelling to allow time for the body to develop immunity. However, even if you’re leaving on short notice, getting vaccinated closer to your departure date is still beneficial.
The duration of protection provided by the typhoid vaccine depends on the type of vaccine received. The injectable vaccine provides protection for about two years, while the oral vaccine provides protection for about five years. Booster doses may be required for continued protection, especially for individuals at ongoing risk of typhoid exposure.
