Frequently asked Questions and Answers:

1. What is TYPBAR-TCV and what is its use?
TYPBAR-TCV is a vaccine designed to prevent Typhoid, a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, a Gram-negative bacterium. Typhoid infection presents with symptoms such as prolonged high fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and a rash. It can lead to severe complications, including protracted fever lasting for weeks or even months. While Typhoid can be treated with antibiotics, rising antibiotic resistance complicates its management. However, immunization can effectively prevent Typhoid. Clinical studies have demonstrated that TYPBAR-TCV is well-tolerated and highly effective for individuals aged 6 months to 45 years.
