For adults and children 2 years of age and older, one dose is injected into the outer muscle of the upper arm or the thigh. A qualified health professional will inject the vaccine.

The typhoid vaccine should be given at least 14 days before entering the typhoid risk area for greatest protection from typhoid infection.

A repeat vaccination ("booster") is recommended every 3 years if you repeatedly travel to areas where you are exposed to S. typhi.

The typhoid vaccine may be given at the same time as some other vaccinations as long as they are injected into different areas of the body.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health.

Bleeding problems: If you have blood clotting problems or are currently taking blood thinners (oral anticoagulants), notify your doctor prior to injection.
