Typhus vaccines are vaccines developed to protect against typhus.[1] As of 2017 they are not commercially available.[2][3][4]
One typhus vaccine consists of formaldehyde-inactivated Rickettsia prowazekii. Two doses are injected subcutaneously four weeks apart. Booster doses are required every six to twelve months.
