Typbar TCV Vaccine is a vaccine which helps develop immunity by initiating a mild infection. This type of infection does not cause illness but stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies (proteins) to protect against any future infections.
Quick Tips
Typbar TCV Vaccine is used for prevention of typhoid. It should be given at least 2 weeks before protection against typhoid fever is required. It is usually given by injection into the muscle of the upper arm or leg. It is not recommended for use in infants and children under two years of age. Protection lasts for around 3 years. Booster injection is required every 3 years to provide continued immunity.
