Side effects for the injection typically include swelling, redness or pain at the injection spot, headache, fever and general discomfort. Two types of typhoid vaccine are available: a live, attenuated (weakened) oral vaccine and an inactivated (killed) vaccine in the form of an injection. However, a range of side effects may be experienced following the vaccine. The vaccine is widely considered to be both safe and effective at preventing this illness. The typhoid vaccine is used to prevent typhoid fever, a serious potentially life-threatening illness caused by Salmonella Typhi bacteria.
If you are concerned about this, you should contact the doctor or nurse administering the vaccine to confirm the safety of alcohol intake following an upcoming vaccine. If you do decide to drink following a vaccine, you should attempt to drink in moderation. Research has shown that alcohol intake of 15 or more drinks per week for men and 8 for women may suppress the immune system along with other factors such as smoking, a lack of sleep and a poor diet. Excess alcohol consumption can potentially mask the side effects of the vaccine and make it difficult to determine which side effects are attributable to the vaccine or alcohol.Įxcessive alcohol consumption on a regular basis may also affect your immune system. In general, there are several reasons to avoid excess alcohol consumption after a vaccination. There is no evidence that drinking in moderation is harmful after most vaccinations. However, it is OK to have alcohol after other vaccinations. If taking typhoid capsules, alcohol (and food) must not be taken within a few hours of each capsule.
