4. Preventing Typhoid Fever

Avoiding contamination by fecal matter infected with S. Typhi is the best way to prevent contracting typhoid fever. Vaccinations also can protect both adults and children. If someone is traveling to a developing country, they should be aware of their last vaccination and speak to a doctor about whether they require another. Upon returning, travelers should report any suspicious symptoms to a doctor immediately.
