Typhim Vi side effects: where the data is

Reported reactions for Typhim Vi and the other typhoid products are compiled on the typhoid vaccine page: pre-licensure trial reactogenicity, VAERS report counts, and international databases (Canada Vigilance, EudraVigilance, Lareb, VigiAccess). Those counts are spontaneous reports with no denominator — a report does not establish that the vaccine caused the event.

Typhim Vi lot number lookup

This site does not yet hold lot-level VAERS counts for typhoid vaccines. Any lot can still be searched in the lot explorer; a lot number is printed on the vaccination record and the vial.
