Typhoid is the scourge of modern day India. Every year millions of people
fall prey to this dreaded disease. A few die and many have to pay in
terms of money, manpower and future health of their body. The main cause
of this illness is poor sanitary conditions, which are rampant in India.
Keeping this in mind, Pramukh Swami Health Services decided to carry
out an immunization campaign in Amdavad and other major cities. With
generous support from the Zydus division of Cadila, the makers of Vactyph,
8000 people were immunized in the week commencing 24-12-2000. Below
is a list of the places where the campaign has been carried out and
