What Is Tified, and How Effective Is It for Typhoid Prevention? - #15549

I recently heard about a vaccine called Tified, which is supposed to protect against typhoid fever. Since I frequently travel to areas where typhoid is more common, my doctor recommended I consider getting vaccinated. But before doing so, I want to understand more about Tified and how effective it really is. From what I understand, typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi and spreads through contaminated food and water. It can cause serious symptoms, including high fever, weakness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Since I definitely don’t want to get sick while traveling, I want to know if Tified offers complete protection or if I still need to take additional precautions. I also have some questions about how long Tified provides immunity. Is it a one-time vaccine, or do booster doses need to be taken every few years? If someone gets Tified, does it completely prevent typhoid, or can they still get a mild case? Another concern I have is side effects. Do people experience fever, headaches, or allergic reactions after getting Tified? I want to be prepared in case there are any reactions, especially since I sometimes have mild side effects from vaccines. I also want to explore natural ways to prevent typhoid fever. I’ve heard that certain Ayurvedic herbs like Neem, Tulsi, and Giloy have antibacterial properties—could they help boost immunity against typhoid? And when traveling, are there specific foods or hygiene practices that can further reduce the risk of getting infected? For those who have received the Tified vaccine, how was your experience? Did you feel fully protected, or did you still take extra precautions? I’d love to hear insights from others who have traveled to typhoid-prone regions and how they stayed safe.
