Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Immunity against typhoid is not lifelong. According to the antibody level, it lasts for varying period of 4 to 6 months. Later, you have all chances of developing recurrent typhoid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
