vi capsular polysaccharide vaccine

Who Should Receive the Vaccine?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the Vi capsular polysaccharide vaccine for individuals living in or traveling to areas where typhoid fever is endemic. It is particularly important for school-aged children and those who are at higher risk of exposure, such as healthcare workers and laboratory staff. The vaccine is usually administered to individuals aged 2 years and older, as younger children may not respond as effectively to the polysaccharide antigen.
