Oral live-attenuated, injectable polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines for typhoid fever
This page catalogs 4 typhoid vaccine products spanning US-licensed oral and injectable options, a WHO-prequalified conjugate vaccine, and European formulations. The 2017 WHO prequalification of Typbar-TCV marked a milestone as the first typhoid conjugate vaccine recommended for routine use in endemic countries, offering longer-lasting protection than polysaccharide alternatives.
