In fact. the safety profile of the vaccine given early has been found to be extremely beneficial in preventing typhoid in children. The new Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine is now being offered for children by most pediatricians. If the child is less than 2 years, he/she will need 2 doses of the vaccine. If the child is more than 2 years old, then 1 dose is sufficient for protection from typhoid.
