Polio, Diphtheria & Tetanus Vaccination
If you are travelling to a risk area for Polio or Diphtheria, you may need the Polio, Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccine. Whether you require this booster depends on the date of your last vaccination.
Our clinicians cannot administer post-exposure does of tetanus vaccine, if you are concerned that you may have a contaminated wound please clean the wound with soap and warm water and contact NHS 111 for advice, or go to A&E if the wound is more serious or the bleeding cannot be stopped. Our clinics are only able to administer the tetanus vaccination for travel reasons.
