Do you want a typhoid vaccine for your kid?
Some data:
- Estimated risk for travellers to India 0.41%
- Estimated effectiveness of the vaccine 60-70%
- Vaccines don’t protect against paratyphoid
- Vaccine is effective only 2 weeks after taking
- Booster shots needed every 2 years
I’m thinking that protecting against mosquitos is a lot more important this time around. Next comes water and food safety.
What do you think? A vaccine is worth it?
