About the DTP Vaccine
The DTP vaccine protects against three serious infections: Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Polio. These diseases still occur in some parts of the world, particularly where vaccination coverage is lower or healthcare access is limited.
Diphtheria
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection that affects the nose and throat and can cause breathing difficulties and serious complications.
Tetanus
Tetanus is caused by bacteria found in soil and can enter the body through cuts or wounds. It affects the nervous system and can cause severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
Polio
Polio is a viral infection that can affect the nervous system and, in severe cases, cause paralysis.
At Earls Barton Pharmacy, we provide DTP vaccinations as part of our travel clinic services to help keep you protected while travelling abroad. Our trained pharmacists will assess your vaccination history, destination, and travel plans to ensure you have the appropriate protection before you travel.
