Alcohol should not be consumed within two (2) hours of taking the VIVOTIF® vaccine. Alcohol will break the enteric-coated capsule, resulting in the capsule dissolving in the stomach rather than the intestinal tract. In addition, tests have confirmed that alcohol will kill the live, attenuated bacteria in the vaccine.
