WHY VACCINATE
About the DTP Booster
Three diseases, one combined jab, done in a single visit
One jab for diphtheria, tetanus and polio
Check if you need a booster before you travel
Most people in the UK had diphtheria, tetanus and polio vaccines as children, with the last dose usually at around 13 or 14. One booster covers all three diseases. For travel, a booster may be recommended if your last dose was more than 10 years ago and you are going somewhere medical help may be hard to reach, or where polio or diphtheria is a risk.

DTP FAQs
Common Questions
For travel, a booster may be recommended if your last dose was more than 10 years ago and you are going somewhere medical help may be hard to reach, or where TravelHealthPro advises polio or diphtheria protection. For most adults the last dose was at school. Talk it through with our pharmacist if you are unsure.
Get travel health advice 4 to 6 weeks before you travel if you can, as some other travel vaccines need more than one dose. If your trip is sooner, it is still worth booking.
Yes. It can be given at the same appointment as other vaccines, such as hepatitis A or typhoid, so you do not need to come back twice.
Anywhere it may be difficult to get medical help quickly, such as remote or rural areas, and countries where TravelHealthPro advises polio or diphtheria protection. We also check whether your destination asks for proof of polio vaccination.
Most side effects are mild and short-lived: pain or swelling where the injection was given, a high temperature, a headache, dizziness or feeling sick. A severe allergic reaction is very rare, and our pharmacist is trained to deal with it. Read the leaflet or ask the pharmacist.
