This vaccine helps to protect against both typhoid fever and hepatitis A infection in people 16 years of age and older. Typhoid fever is an infectious disease that may be caught from food and drink that contain the bacteria (called _Salmonella enterica, _subtype _typhi_) that cause the illness. It is a serious infection that may be fatal if not treated promptly. Hepatitis A infection is due to a virus that attacks the liver. It may be caught from food or drink that contains the virus. Symptoms include jaundice and feeling generally unwell. When you are given an injection of ViATIM, your body’s natural defences will produce protection against typhoid fever and hepatitis A infection. 2.
