Are Unrefrigerated Typhoid Vaccine Pills Safe For Consumption?

My son is on his fourth dose of typhoid vaccine pill. We left the pills out by accident yesterday. We put them in the fridge as soon as we noticed, but they had been out a few hours and were warm. Do we need to get new ones or can he continue taking these?

Hi,

I would like to tell you that Oral Typhoid vaccine pills are safe to ingest only when they have been maintained and kept for a temperature in between 2-8 degree Celsius. I would not recommend you to use them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
