Typhoid vaccine ‘works fantastically well’

  • Experts said the vaccine was a game-changer and would reduce the “terrible toll wrought by typhoid”
  • More than 20,000 children – aged from nine months to 16 years – in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, took part in the trial
  • Half of the children were given the vaccine and their cases of typhoid fell by 81% in the first year of the study
