Pediatrician,  's  Response
Efficacy of commonly used typhoid vaccines for prevention of typhoid is nearly 50-70 percent.recurrence means she got infection from some source /carrier ( typhoid is water /food borne disease ).Although not 100 % effective , vaccine does prevent against severe form of disease , commonly used vaccines are to be repeated every 3 yrs. If there is recurrence in family , some one may be a carrier in family , like person who is preparing food, that also need to be vaccinated.
