Commonly Asked Questions
Can I get a typhoid vaccine at a pharmacy?

How much does typhoid vaccine cost?
The cost of a private typhoid vaccine varies, but it typically ranges between £30 to £50 in most pharmacies and travel clinics. Prices may differ based on whether you choose the oral vaccine (capsules) or the injection. Always check with the provider for the latest pricing.
Can I get a typhoid injection on the NHS?
Yes, the typhoid vaccine is free on the NHS if you are eligible. Some GP surgeries offer it free of charge for travellers visiting high-risk areas. However, not all GP practices provide travel vaccines, so you may need to go to a private travel clinic or pharmacy and pay for it.
How far in advance should I get the typhoid vaccine?
It is recommended to get the typhoid vaccine at least 2-3 weeks before travelling to a high-risk country. This allows your body enough time to develop immunity. If you are getting the oral vaccine, it should be completed at least one week before travel.
