            Complete vaccination 1 week before exposure (endemic areas = Africa, Asia, Central and S. America)

            Efficacy is 70-96% for parenteral administration

            May administer Hib, DTP, OPV, IPV, MMR, influenza, and hepatitis B vaccines at same time

            Syncope accompanied by transient visual disturbances reported with injectable vaccines; procedures should be in place to prevent falling injury and manage syncopal reactions

            Not for the treatment of typhoid fever

            Not all vaccine recipients become protected against typhoid fever; take the necessary precautions to avoid ingesting food or water that may be contaminated

            Administer at least 2 weeks prior to expected exposure

            Avoid administration in patients with moderate or severe acute illness

            Provides protection against risk of infection related to Salmonella typhi, but gives no protection against Salmonella paratyphi A or B, non-S typhi species of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, or other bacteria that cause enteric disease

            If administered to persons deficient in producing antibodies, whether due to genetic defect, immunodeficiency disease, or immunosuppressive therapy, expected immune response may not be obtained; this includes patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic HIV-infection, severe combined immunodeficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, or agammaglobulinemia; altered immune states due to diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, or generalized malignancy; or immune system compromised by treatment with corticosteroids, alkylating drugs, antimetabolites or radiation

            Epinephrine injection (1:1000) must be immediately available following immunization should an anaphylactic or other allergic reaction occur due to any component of the vaccine

            Prior to an injection of any vaccine, all known precautions should be taken to prevent adverse reactions; this includes a review of patient's history with respect to possible hypersensitivity to vaccine or similar vaccines

            Acute infection or febrile illness may be reason for delaying use of Typhim Vi vaccine except when, in the opinion of the physician, withholding the vaccine entails a greater risk

            Mechanism of Action

            Live attenuateTY21a strain lacks enzyme UDP-4-galactose epimerase, which causes lipopolysaccharide to be synthesized under conditions that induce bacterial autolys; the avirulent strain produces enough lipopolysaccharide to evoke a protective immune response

            Conveys active immunity via stimulation of production of endogenously produced antibodies
