Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) Vaccine in Edinburgh
Diphtheria, a bacterial infection affecting the throat and nose, combines with tetanus, caused by bacteria entering the body through wounds, and polio, a virus that can lead to paralysis or death.
Unvaccinated travellers to regions with low diphtheria vaccine uptake face a risk, while generalized tetanus, marked by intense, painful muscle contractions, carries a 10 to 20% fatality rate. Polio, although often symptomless (95% of cases), can lead to severe consequences.
