We just took our first oral typhoid Vaccine this morning and it is wrecking havoc on my stomach!! Scott's fine but ohh my!.
although I suppose it's better then the alternative of actually getting Typhoid. Just wanted to comment on this.
I could feel it working its way down my stomach.

Hello Scott and Kristy 😊

I had no site affects at all with the oral vaccine, but the doctor did tell me at the time the injection one has fewer side affects than the oral one. Maybe it is not too late for you to get the injection, so you can skip taking the rest of the pills.

Ew poor you! I had the Typhoid injection a few years ago and it was the worst one, my arm was numb for 24 hrs and I felt like I had flu, bad enough to warrant a day off work. Getting a bit worried I'll need a booster for it and not looking forward to the side effects again!
Hope you feel better soon! Reply to this

just took the second pill yesterday, wasn't as bad except that I took it and went back to sleep, so I didn't eat until about three hours after, bad idea!! but after breakfast I was fine!! no more pokes in the arm for me for at least a year and a half. then we do all the Vaccines needed for Africa lol.

Have taken several times without any problems. I always follow exactly the instructions from the doctor AND the instructions on the prescription Reply to this

Even i thing that to get rid from this diseases like typhoid the best remedy is to have the vaccination from the childhood.but if some one was unable to have then the prior prevention is the better cure.
