Updated Typhoid Recommendations

05 November 2015

We have recently reviewed TRAVAX Typhoid recommendations based on most recent CDC, WHO and Gideon Informatics.

Around 15 country recommendations were amended; most of the changes were a downgrade of risk e.g. Argentina, Chile and Turkey from sometimes advised to not advised and Malaysia from usually advised to sometimes advised.
