Old typhus vaccination expired. Should I get a booster?
Old typhus vaccination expired. Should I get a booster?
I had my last typhus shot many years ago and I should renew it now.
Is it something that most expats get here in Cambodia? Or is it unnecessary and only reccomended on some websites based on 90s data?

Are you certain you don't actually mean "Typhoid" vaccine?
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Usual advice: go ask a medical professional and not a bunch of anonymous pissheads. Some boosters depend on your age and other considerations, etc

haven't had a tetanus shot nor a typhoid vaccine since Mid 1979

KiR got typhoid, or typhus near the end of his life. It fucked him up bad style. Not sure he really recovered.
Think I'll get one too.

It was typhoid.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Vietnamese quack told me I had a throat infection.
Dr. Julie referred me to to SOS who told me even before the test result I probably had typhoid. Result was +ve.
Norfloxacine, orfloxacine and a few other strong antibiotics whose names escape me now, for 10 days, right as rain.

Any recommendations for a place where they should have most vaccinations available before i end up going to 5 different places that don't have it in stock? Pasteur?
Institut Pasteur or Royal Phnom Penh Hospital

How long is the vaccination effective for?
The typhoid vaccine should ideally be given at least 1 month before you travel, although if necessary it can be given closer to your travel date. Booster vaccinations are recommended every 3 years if you continue to be at risk of infection with typhoid bacteria.
Get the oral one if you can, it lasts 5 years, whereas the injectable one lasts only 2

Yes get Typhoid shot especially if you eat rare / raw meat or uncooked vegetables that you didn't prepare yourself.
Knocked me for six in 2020. Easily treatable but best avoided.
Typhim $19 at Pasteur.
