Typhoid vaccination in Kathmandu — protection against endemic typhoid fever, essential for residents and strongly recommended for travelers to Nepal and South Asia.
Typhoid in Nepal
Typhoid fever is endemic in Nepal — including Kathmandu — spread through contaminated food and water, especially during monsoon season. Vaccination is one of the most valuable preventive measures for anyone spending time in the region.
Vaccine options
Injectable Vi polysaccharide vaccine: single dose, protection for 2–3 years. Oral live-attenuated vaccine: 4 doses over a week, protection for ~5 years. Both take about 1–2 weeks to become effective.
Effectiveness and precautions
The typhoid vaccine is ~50–80% effective — meaningful protection, but food and water precautions remain essential. Booster doses maintain protection for ongoing risk.
