Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (DTP) Vaccine

Stay protected against three serious infections with the Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (DTP) vaccine. Essential for childhood immunisation and recommended as a booster for adults travelling to high-risk areas, this vaccine safeguards against:

Diphtheria – A contagious bacterial infection affecting the throat, nose, and skin, potentially life-threatening if untreated.

Tetanus – A dangerous toxin-producing bacteria that enters through cuts or wounds, causing painful muscle spasms and stiffness.

Polio – A highly infectious virus that spreads through contaminated food, water, or contact, with the risk of paralysis and severe complications.

• Course: Usually 1 booster dose if you have completed your primary vaccinations.
• Schedule: A single appointment. Additional doses may be needed if your vaccination history is incomplete.
• Protection and boosters: A completed vaccination course provides long-term protection. A travel booster may be recommended when your last dose was 10 or more years ago, depending on your destination and access to medical care.
