The DTP vaccine protects against Diphtheria, Tetanus, & Polio. It is usually given to teenagers as a booster shot to strengthen their childhood vaccinations against these diseases.

It is a good idea to have the DTP vaccination if you plan to travel widely or to areas where these diseases are common, as they affect locations across several continents.

You may have had this vaccination as a child, but it is important to ensure you are up to date with your boosters, as the shots lose their effects after ten years.

Always keep up-to-date with disease information when you travel, as areas of high risk can change over time.

To book an appointment for your DTP vaccination, please give us a call or get in touch online.
