*If you drink water, buy it bottled or bring it to a rolling boil for 1 minute before you drink it. Bottled carbonated water is safer than uncarbonated water. 
*Avoiding foods and beverages from street vendors.
*Ask for drinks without ice unless the ice is made from bottled or boiled water. Avoid popsicles and flavored ices that may have been made with contaminated water.
*Avoiding raw fruits and vegetables that cannot be peeled.
*Eat foods that have been thoroughly cooked and that are still hot and steaming.
*Avoid consumption of ice cream
*Avoid raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be peeled. Vegetables like lettuce are easily contaminated and are very hard to wash well. 
*Eating food which is properly cooked and served hot.
*When you eat raw fruit or vegetables that can be peeled, peel them yourself. (Wash your hands with soap first.) Do not eat the peelings. 
*Using hard cooked eggs
*Avoid foods and beverages from street vendors. It is difficult for food to be kept clean on the street, and many travelers get sick from food bought from street vendors.
*Using pasteurized milk products.
*Using boiled or bottled water.


===Getting vaccinated===
If you are traveling to a country where typhoid is common, you should consider being [[vaccinated]] against typhoid. Visit a doctor or travel clinic to discuss your vaccination options.
Remember that you will need to complete your vaccination at least 1 week before you travel so that the vaccine has time to take effect. Typhoid vaccines lose effectiveness after several years; if you were vaccinated in the past, check with your doctor to see if it is time for a booster vaccination. Taking [[antibiotics]] will not prevent typhoid fever; they only help treat it.
The chart below provides basic information on typhoid vaccines that are available in the United States:
[[Image:Typhoid vaccines.jpg|frame|center|Typhoid vaccines]]
Typhoid vaccine is recommended for travelers to areas where there is an increased risk of exposure to S.Typhi.
===Indications===
The typhoid vaccines do not protect against S. Paratyphi infection. Both typhoid vaccines protect 50%–80% of recipients; travelers should be reminded that typhoid immunization is not 100% effective, and typhoid fever could still occur. Two typhoid vaccines are available in the United States:
*Oral live, [[attenuated]] [[vaccine]].
*Vi capsular polysaccharide (ViCPS) vaccine for [[intramuscular]] use.
===Vaccine Administration===
The time required for primary vaccination differs for the 2 vaccines, as do the lower age limits.
Primary vaccination with oral Ty21a vaccine consists of 4 capsules, 1 taken every other day. The capsules should be kept refrigerated (not frozen), and all 4 doses must be taken to achieve maximum efficacy. Each capsule should be taken with cool liquid no warmer than 98.6°F (37°C), approximately 1 hour before a meal. This regimen should be completed 1 week before potential exposure. The vaccine manufacturer recommends that Ty21a not be administered to infants or children aged <6 years.
Primary vaccination with ViCPS consists of one 0.5-mL (25-mg) dose administered intramuscularly. One dose of this vaccine should be given ≥2 weeks before expected exposure. The manufacturer does not recommend the vaccine for infants and children aged <2 years.
===Vaccine Safety and Adverse Reactions===
Adverse reactions to Ty21a vaccine are rare and mainly consist of abdominal discomfort, [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], and [[rash]]. ViCPS vaccine is most often associated with [[headache]] (16%–20%) and injection-site reactions (7%). No information is available on the safety of these vaccines in [[pregnancy]]; it is prudent on theoretical grounds to avoid vaccinating pregnant women. Live, attenuated Ty21a vaccine should not be given to [[immunocompromised]] travelers, including those infected with [[HIV]]. The intramuscular vaccine presents a theoretically safer alternative for this group. The only contraindication to vaccination with ViCPS vaccine is a history of severe local or systemic reactions after a previous dose. Neither of the available vaccines should be given to people with an acute febrile illness.
===Precautions and Contraindications===
Theoretical concerns have been raised about the immunogenicity of live, attenuated Ty21a vaccine in people concurrently receiving [[antimicrobials]] (including [[antimalarial]] [[chemoprophylaxis]]), viral vaccines, or [[immune]] [[globulin]]. The growth of the live Ty21a strain is inhibited [[in vitro]] by various [[antibacterial]] agents, and [[vaccination]] with Ty21a should be delayed for >72 hours after the administration of any antibacterial agent. Available data do not suggest that simultaneous administration of oral polio or yellow fever vaccine decreases the immunogenicity of Ty21a. If typhoid vaccination is warranted, it should not be delayed because of administration of viral vaccines. Simultaneous administration of Ty21a and immune globulin does not appear to pose a problem.

Primary Prevention

Effective measures for the primary prevention of typhoid fever include the following:

Vaccination

There are two types of vaccines for typhoid fever[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

  • Inactivated typhoid vaccine, ViCPS(IM)
  • Live typhoid vaccine (oral)

Indications

  • Travelers visiting endemic areas.[8]
  • Health care workers dealing typhoid patients or handling salmonella typhi.
  • Individuals at increased risk of acquiring infection such as household contact[9][10]
  • Pregnancy( travel to endemic areas)[11]

The table below provides basic information on typhoid vaccines that are available in the United States:

Typhoid vaccines

Other measures

Following measures in endemic areas help decrease incidence of typhoid in these areas.[5]

  • Improving personal hygiene and sanitation[12]
  • Proper sewage disposal.
  • Avoiding overcrowding.
  • Avoiding close contact or sharing utensils with people already suffering from typhoid.

Following preventive measures can help prevent disease in people traveling to endemic area:[5][13]

  • Avoiding foods and beverages from street vendors.
  • Avoiding raw fruits and vegetables that cannot be peeled.
  • Avoid consumption of ice cream
  • Eating food which is properly cooked and served hot.
  • Using hard cooked eggs
  • Using pasteurized milk products.
  • Using boiled or bottled water.
