DESCRIPTION:Worldwide\, typhoid infects 11–20 million people each year. 
 The disease is endemic in South Asia. Increasing antimicrobial resistance 
 is a challenge.  In Pakistan\, the first extensively drug-resistant (XDR) 
 typhoid was reported in 2016 in an outbreak in Hyderabad. The investigatio
 n of this outbreak and subsequent efforts lead to the introduction of the 
 typhoid vaccine in Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) of Pakistan. He
 nce Pakistan became the first country to introduce the typhoid conjugate v
 accine in children through EPI.
