Essential Protection for Global Travellers
Travelling to areas where infectious diseases are still common? Make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date with a Diphtheria, Polio, and Tetanus (DPT) booster at Hemel Hempstead Travel Clinic. This combination vaccine provides vital protection against three serious illnesses—often required for travel to parts of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Conveniently located in Hemel Hempstead, our travel clinic provides expert immunisation services, travel advice, and quick appointments to keep you protected wherever your journey takes you.
Why Do You Need a DPT Vaccine Booster?
Many adults received the DPT vaccine as part of their childhood immunisation schedule—but protection can wear off over time. A booster dose is recommended every 10 years if you’re travelling to countries where diphtheria, polio, or tetanus remain a concern.
Here’s why each disease matters:
- Diphtheria – a highly contagious bacterial infection affecting the throat and airways, spread through coughs or sneezes.
- Polio – a viral illness that can lead to permanent paralysis, spread via contaminated food or water.
Tetanus – caused by bacteria entering cuts or wounds, leading to muscle stiffness and potentially fatal complications.
