Is It Harmful To Give Typhoid Vaccine Earlier?
Hello Dr.
My child is 22 mths old. yesterday as per the govt health centre she received typhoid inactivated vaccine. They said it can be given after i yr of age. But now i read in the internet that it shd be given after 2 yrs of age. Is there any harm if it's given earlier?

Hi...do not worry. it is not going to do any harm. Only issue is that the immunogenecity or the advantage of vaccination will be slightly lower. I advice you get her vaccinated again after 2 months.
