It is estimated that malaria and typhoid kills more people in Nigeria than HIV/AIDS. The good thing is that there is a vaccine for typhoid that gives you protection against Typhiod fever for at least 5 years or more.

This vaccine costs only 5k naira but surprisingly Nigerian doctors and nurses will never advise you to take this life saving vaccination and I WANT TO KNOW WHY?

I believe the government should advise or even mandate every Nigerian citizen to get vaccinated against the following deadly diseases: Typhiod Fever, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis B and TB.

I will talk about Hepatitis and TB in my next post.

That's a good one

Where do we get one?

Nigeria dictor telling u to take protection is like depriving himself regular income,

Thanks!

If I go there and request for it will they accept me?

The typhoid vaccine doesn't guarantee immunity as compared to other vaccines and also it requires regular booster shots.
A much better means of preventing typhoid is good hygiene, proper hand washing techniques and potable water.

Thanks for the information. We already know about the personal hygiene thingy, but people need to know about this life saving vaccination. It works and should be recommended for everyone living in Nigeria. Cheers
