The World Health Organization (WHO) says an estimated 9 million people get sick from typhoid, and 110,000 people die from Salmonella Typhi, commonly known as typhoid.
In 2024, millions of children who lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation are at risk in typhoid-endemic countries, particularly in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Furthermore, travelers to these countries are usually at risk when exposed to low food hygiene standards and poor water quality, says the WHO.
The good news is that approved typhoid vaccines are available in 2024.
