Hello,
Yes it is possible to have typhoid fever even after the vaccination.
Like any vaccine, the typhoid vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.
Both the vaccines,oral or injectable is only about 75% effective,particularly when you are exposed to high number of typhoid bacteria.
Thanks
