Anti-Typhoid Vaccination

Food Handlers who had attended Food Handlers Training course should get Anti-typhoid vaccination from registered clinic. 

 Typhoid is bacterial infection that can cause high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and so on. It is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi via contaminated food, contaminated drinking water, faeces (carried by pest).

Apart from the common signs of food poisoning, people who is infected by Salmonella typhi will suffer internal inflammation due to the broken of intestine.  the bacteria will enter blood system, causing complication of organs. It can be fatal if patient is not treated early.  

Hence, Vaccination of Food Handlers is essential to avoid food handlers infected with this bacteria and to prevent the infections to the public via preparing food and drinks. 

Food Handlers should obtain a vaccination card from the authority and accept Health  inspection and vaccination at registered clinic.    

After the registration, Clinic personnel will cop the date of vaccination and the next vaccination date (3 years from the date of vaccination date).  

Having done this,  do make sure the original copy of Health / Vaccination card and Food Handlers Training Course Certificate are kept in the food promise (do not put at home :) ) for premise inspection one day. 

All the best!
