Safety and non-inferiority of multidose and single-dose vial formulations of EuTCV Vi-CRM197 versus Typbar TCV in healthy participants in Kenya and Senegal: a multicentre, observer-blind, randomised, phase 3 study. (PubMed, Lancet Glob Health) - "These data show that EuTCV Vi-CRM197 is immunologically non-inferior to Typbar TCV in infants 28 days after vaccination and that the overall safety and reactogenicity profiles in healthy infants, children, and adults studied in Kenya and Senegal were similar to Typbar TCV. These data support WHO prequalification."

Salmonella Typhi Vi-specific serological profiling among children, adolescents, and adutls after typhoid vaccination in endemic area (ASTMH 2025) - "To overcome this limitation, typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) have been developed, and four TCVs have been WHO-prequalified (Typbar TCV®, TYPHBEV®, SKY Typhoid, and Zyvac®)...Functional activities (ADCP, ADCD, ADNP) were increased after 2nd dose of TCV, especially in children although comparable anti-Vi IgG were observed post vaccination between first and second dose. Distinct biomarkers between children and adults would be helpful to understand immune responses and antibody-mediated protection against typhoid infection."

Safety and immunogenicity of locally produced typhoid conjugate vaccine in Bangladesh: A randomized controlled, double-blinded, non-inferiority trial (ASTMH 2025) - "Three large Phase III efficacy trials of Typbar-TCV (Vi-polysaccharide conjugated to tetanus toxoid) conducted in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Malawi demonstrated that Typbar-TCV provides 85%, 78%, and 84% protection in children aged 9 months to under 16 years, respectively...The findings of this study will be helpful to inform the country's decision-making for the introduction of Typhocon into the routine expanded programme on immunisation in Bangladesh. It will increase the supply of TCVs and meet the demand for vaccines in Bangladesh and the region."

Enteric (typhoid and paratyphoid) fever. (PubMed, Lancet) - "Azithromycin, ciprofloxacin (excepting cases originating in south Asia due to drug resistance), or ceftriaxone are recommended treatment options for both typhoid and paratyphoid; however, choice should be guided by local resistance patterns. Three vaccine types are available for prevention of typhoid disease, including the newer, more effective typhoid Vi-conjugate vaccines. Vaccination as well as water, sanitation, and hygiene measures are cornerstones of prevention."

Comparative immune response of Typbar TCV® (typhoid conjugate vaccine) in extremes of age: An Indian experience. (PubMed, Hum Vaccin Immunother) - "Results established that Typbar TCV® induced significantly higher antibody titer compared to Typhim Vi on days 28 and 90 (p < .001). Thus, Typbar TCV® was studied effectively from 6 months to above 85 years, which is the upper age limit. CTRI Registration number: CTRI/2016/01/006476, CTRI/2024/06/069638."

IAPSM's Position Paper on Typhoid Vaccines for Adult Immunization in India. (PubMed, Indian J Community Med) - "IAPSM suggests routine use of Typbar-TCV™ for adults up to 45 years old in India. The organization also highlights the necessity for post-marketing surveillance of these vaccines, to monitor the long-term safety and effectiveness of various vaccines in different communities. IAPSM encourages members to take front-line efforts in their community health service areas, and finally appeals for the development of vaccines to cover a more extensive range of Salmonella infections so that control over typhoid can be strengthened."

Field Effectiveness of a Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine: The 2018 Navi Mumbai Pediatric TCV Campaign. (PubMed, Am J Trop Med Hyg) - "The adjusted odds ratio of typhoid fever among vaccinated children was 0.16 (95% CI: 0.05-0.55), equivalent to a vaccine effectiveness of 83.7% (95% CI: 45.0-95.3). Vaccine effectiveness of Typbar-TCV in this large public sector vaccine introduction was similar to prior randomized controlled trials, providing reassurance to policymakers that TCV effectiveness is robust in a large-scale implementation."

A TLR4 ligand-based adjuvant for promoting the immunogenicity of typhoid subunit vaccines. (PubMed, Front Immunol) - "None of the typhoid Vi Polysaccharide (ViPS) subunit vaccines incorporate adjuvants, and the immunogenicity of ViPS vaccines (e.g. Typbar TCV® and Typhim Vi®) is in part due to associated TLR4 ligands such as endotoxin present in these vaccines. Nevertheless, when adjuvanted with Turbo, poorly immunogenic ViPS induced a robust IgG response in young and adult mice, and this was observed even under antigen-limiting conditions. These data suggest that incorporation of Turbo as an adjuvant will make typhoid vaccines more immunogenic regardless of their intrinsic immunogenicity or conjugation status and maximize the efficacy across all ages."
