IGP offers a range of travel vaccines suitable for those travelling and/or working abroad. Our vaccinations are carried out in healthcare registered clinics by experienced Practice Nurses and GP's on request.
* Please note that vaccine cost is the cost per dose to have the vaccine with a nurse and not a GP. There is an additional fee of £25 for the vaccine to be administered by a GP. The number of doses required indicates the number of doses for a standard course. An accelerated course can impact the number of doses required. It is strongly advised that you leave plenty of time to complete the course before your trip. Some vaccination courses, with more than one vaccine required, may take up to a month or longer and many vaccinations will not become fully effective until weeks after the course completion. The brand of vaccine we supply may also vary depending on the current supply status of a particular vaccine.
£65 Per Dose
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by *Salmonella Typhi*. It is commonly spread through contaminated food and water, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. The disease can cause high fever, abdominal pain, weakness, and severe complications if untreated. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent typhoid, especially for travelers visiting regions where the disease is prevalent, such as parts of Asia, Africa, and South America.
The typhoid vaccine is available in two forms: an injectable vaccine and an oral vaccine. The injectable vaccine provides protection for up to three years, while the oral vaccine involves a series of capsules taken over a week and offers protection for up to five years. Both vaccines stimulate the immune system to protect against *Salmonella Typhi*. The vaccine is highly recommended for travelers visiting areas with poor sanitation or during outbreaks, as well as for those staying in endemic regions for extended periods.
The vaccine is recommended for travelers visiting areas with a high risk of typhoid, particularly in parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. It is also advised for those staying in regions with poor sanitation or during typhoid outbreaks.
The vaccine provides significant protection against *Salmonella Typhi*. While not 100% effective, it greatly reduces the risk of infection when combined with safe food and water practices.
Mild side effects include soreness at the injection site, fever, or stomach discomfort with the oral vaccine. Severe reactions are rare.
The injectable vaccine offers protection for up to three years, while the oral vaccine provides protection for up to five years. Booster doses are recommended for those at continued risk.
In addition to vaccination, practice good hygiene by drinking only bottled or boiled water, avoiding raw foods, and eating only cooked meals from reliable sources while traveling in high-risk areas.
