Typhoid
Book AppointmentTyphoid is caused by a special kind of bacteria which is usually deposited in contaminated water or food that serve as carriers when consumed. It can also be contracted by coming into close contact with an infected person.
Vaccines for typhoid are available at the Department of Family Medicine at the Aga Khan University Hospital. They only partially immunize you and may obstruct you from catching the bacteria. However, these vaccines are beneficial if you are traveling to a country which is a high-risk zone.
