Why These Boosters Matter for Travel

Tetanus bacteria live in soil and dust, entering through cuts or wounds.

Diphtheria spreads person-to-person in areas with low vaccine coverage.

Polio is nearly eradicated globally, but outbreaks still occur, especially in parts of Africa and Asia. Some countries require proof of polio vaccination if you're coming from or going to affected areas.

When Should You Get a Booster?

• If you haven’t had a Td/IPV vaccine in the last 10 years

• If your travel destination has increased risk or requirements for polio

• If you’re unsure of your vaccine history (we can check and advise)

What’s Included in the Vaccine?

A single combined injection that covers all three:

• Tetanus

• Diphtheria

• Polio (inactivated virus, suitable for all travellers)

The vaccine is well-tolerated, and protection lasts for 10 years.
