For hepatitis A, a booster is generally not required after the initial vaccination series, as immunity is long-lasting. Tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years, but if there's a serious wound, a booster may be given if it's been more than 5 years since the last dose. For typhoid, a booster is recommended every 2 years for those who received the oral vaccine or every 5 years for the injectable vaccine, especially for those at ongoing risk. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
