What is the minimum licensing age for the oral Typhoid vaccine?

The minimum licensing age for the oral Typhoid vaccine is 6 years. This age restriction is based on clinical trials and studies that have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in children starting from this age. The oral Typhoid vaccine is specifically recommended for individuals traveling to areas where there is a risk of Typhoid fever, and data from studies indicate that children younger than 6 years may not respond adequately to the vaccine in terms of building an effective immune response.

In contrast, the other age options do not align with the established guidelines for administering this vaccine. For example, while younger children are generally more susceptible to infectious diseases, their immune systems may not develop the necessary response to the oral formulation of the Typhoid vaccine until they reach the age of 6. This ensures that children are adequately protected when they travel to high-risk areas.
