This medicinal product is a vaccine.
Vaccines are used to protect against infectious diseases.
Typhoid fever is caused by a bacterium called Salmonella typhi. The main symptoms include high fever (40°C), headache, insomnia, dizziness, epistaxis (nose bleeding), anorexia (loss of appetite), nausea, diarrhoea and consciousness disorders.
When the patient or the child receive an injection of TYPHIM Vi, the body's natural defences elaborate a protection against the infection caused by this bacterium.
