DTP Vaccination
The DTP vaccination (also known as the tetanus diphtheria polio vaccine or Td/IPV) helps protect against three serious and potentially life-threatening infections. At Periville Pharmacy, we provide convenient access to this important booster for those who need it, with clear advice and supportive care.
We serve people across Grimsby and nearby areas, including Laceby, Keelby, Great Coates, and Healing, from our two branches on Cromwell Road and Wingate Road.
What Is the DTP Vaccination?
- Diphtheria – a potentially fatal throat and breathing infection.
- Tetanus – a serious infection that can enter the body through cuts or wounds.
- Polio – a viral infection that can cause paralysis.
Who Should Have the Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Polio Vaccine?
- Missed the teenage dose at school.
- Need protection before travelling to certain countries.
- Have a deep, dirty, or high-risk wound and are not up to date with tetanus protection.
