#asktheexperts dear doc my boy is 2 year 10 month old. he didn't get typhoid vaccine till now. my question is what is the recommended age for typhoid vaccine, as I heard this vaccine need to be administered much earlier?also is typhoid vaccine is for lifetime? thank you.

A. typhoid vaccine can be given anytime after completion of 6 months of age of the child. as per the new guidelines you have to give only one dosage for typhoid conjugate vaccine.x the other typhoid vaccine is known as typhoid polysaccharide vaccine and it is given after 2 years of age and is repeated every 3 yearly. in the present scenario it is advisable to go for only typhoid conjugate vaccine. x
