If possible, you should get vaccinated two weeks before travel, however, if you are travelling sooner than this, you can get vaccinated, but fully immunity will not have developed.

The typhoid vaccine will protect you for 3 years.

One dose is required if a typhoid injection is given. However, if an oral typhoid vaccine is taken 3 doses is required.

Typhoid injections are usually given in your upper arm. While Typhoid Oral vaccines are given orally as a tablet. However if the oral vaccine is given, please remember to not eat one hour before your appointment.
