Pregnancy and Typhoid Immunizations
No data are available on the use of either typhoid vaccine in pregnancy.
No data are available on the use of either typhoid vaccine in pregnancy. The Vi capsular polysaccharide vaccine (ViCPS) injectable preparation is the vaccine of choice during pregnancy because it is inactivated and requires only one injection. The oral Ty21a typhoid vaccine is not absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy, but it is live attenuated and thus has theoretical risk.
