DTP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio) Vaccination

The combined tetanus, diphtheria, and polio vaccine provides important protection against three serious diseases. Tetanus is a bacterial infection affecting the nervous system, diphtheria affects the throat and airways, and polio can cause paralysis.

Even if you were fully vaccinated as a child, booster doses are needed throughout life. This combined booster is recommended for all travelers, especially those visiting areas with limited medical facilities. The vaccine provides protection for 10 years.
