Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Typhoid vaccine is given orally with 3 doses.
hepatitis vaccine is there but not for A type, given 3 injections.
Hepatitis B and typhoid were not given before,
Now both are given in India.
In foreign countries, both shots are given so don't worry.
But please consult your doctor and do blood test for vaccine level in the body means proper immunity is there or not.
Hope these all will help you a lot.
Thanks for contacting us.
take care....
