Indications

Typhim Vi is a vaccine indicated for active immunization against typhoid fever in adults and children over 2 years of age. Typhoid fever is a serious illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi, which can lead to severe complications if not treated properly. This vaccine is essential for individuals traveling to areas where typhoid fever is endemic or for those who need additional protection due to occupational or personal exposure. The administration of Typhim Vi provides an adequate immune response, helping to reduce the risk of infection and its associated complications. It is important that vaccination be part of a comprehensive approach to preventing typhoid fever, which also includes hygiene and food safety measures. Immunization is especially recommended before traveling to regions with a high incidence of typhoid fever, such as some areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The vaccine is effective and generally well-tolerated, although adverse reactions may occur, which are mostly mild and transient.

Composition

Each prefilled syringe of Typhim Vi contains a dose of 0.025 mg of purified capsular polysaccharide from Salmonella Typhi, in addition to excipients that facilitate the administration and preservation of the vaccine.

Contraindications

Typhim Vi is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to vaccine components, as well as in people with fever or acute moderate to severe illness at the time of vaccination.

Precautions

It is recommended to evaluate the patient's health status before vaccination. Immunocompromised patients may not respond adequately to the vaccine. It is essential to consult your doctor if there is a history of autoimmune diseases or immunosuppressive treatments. Vaccination should be postponed in case of febrile illness or acute infection. Consult your doctor.

Storage

Typhim Vi should be stored under refrigeration between 2 °C and 8 °C. Do not expose to direct sunlight and avoid freezing the vaccine. Keep out of reach of children.
