Typhoid

Typhoid fever  is a serious bacterial infection transmitted when travellers eat contaminated food or water. It is most commonly seen in developing countries with inadequate sanitation.

Diphtheria/Tetanus/polio

Tetanus is a serious infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani’s spores, which are found in soil dust and animal faeces. These spores gain access to the body through abrasions and cuts leading to severe injury to the nervous system.Death can occur when the nervous supply to the muscles concerned with breathing are affected. Tetanus is found across the globe but certain countries are considered more high risk.

Polio is a viral illness which affects the spinal cord and central nervous system of infected individuals. Spread because of poor sanitation from person-person. The virus itself is swallowed and transmitted to the blood stream. From the blood stream it gains access to the nervous system. Paralysis the most severe complication occurs in a small minority of those affected and many will improve greatly but some never recover.
