What Is Typhoid?
8. Prevention
Vaccines are available for typhoid, but they are not particularly effective. However, everybody can take steps to help give them further protection against the disease. One of these is to wash your hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom and before preparing food. Using soapy water and/or hand sanitizers are particularly effective at helping to prevent the spread of diseases.
You should also try and avoid eating any food that has not been thoroughly washed and cooked, and you should try and drink bottled water only. If you do have typhoid fever yourself then you should try and take precautions to help prevent other people from catching the disease.
