Evolving Strategies in Typhoid Prevention and Control: Recent Advancements and Future Directions
Evolving Strategies in Typhoid Prevention and Control: Recent Advancements and Future Directions
Jugal Kishore, Kanika Paruti, Deep Priya Lall
Typhoid fever remains a significant global health challenge, especially in regions lacking access to clean water and sanitation. Recent advancements in prevention and control strategies, notably the introduction of the Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine (TCV), have spurred renewed efforts to combat this infectious disease. This comprehensive review explores key insights, including recommendations, hurdles, cross-country experiences and emerging trends, with a focus on India’s experience amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies encompass a multifaceted approach, ranging from vaccination initiatives guided by the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) to enhanced surveillance methodologies and targeted interventions. Despite challenges such as vaccine hesitancy and resistance to antibiotics, the integration of TCV holds promise in reducing the burden of typhoid and improving public health outcomes. As India adapts to post-pandemic dynamics, proactive measures aimed at strengthening healthcare infrastructure and refining disease control strategies are essential in shaping a resilient response to infectious diseases like typhoid.
