Typhoid, Diphtheria-Tetanus, Meningitis, and Herpes Zoster Vaccines

Vaccination plays a vital role in protecting adults from serious infectious diseases. At Shri Mahavir Clinic, we provide comprehensive adult immunization services, including Typhoid, Diphtheria-Tetanus (Td/Tdap), Meningococcal (Meningitis), and Herpes Zoster (Shingles) vaccines. Our experienced physicians recommend vaccines based on your age, health status, occupation, travel plans, and individual risk factors.

Through personalized vaccination schedules and evidence-based preventive care, we help reduce the risk of severe infections and support long-term health.

What Are These Vaccines?

These vaccines protect against several potentially serious diseases:

• Typhoid Vaccine – Helps prevent typhoid fever, a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water.
• Diphtheria-Tetanus (Td/Tdap) Vaccine – Protects against diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and, in the case of Tdap, pertussis (whooping cough).
• Meningococcal Vaccine – Helps prevent meningococcal disease, including meningitis and bloodstream infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis.
• Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Vaccine – Reduces the risk of shingles and its complications, particularly in older adults.

These vaccines are an important part of preventive healthcare and help protect individuals at increased risk of infection.

• Adults who are due for booster doses
• Senior citizens

• Frequent domestic or international travelers
• Healthcare professionals
