Need your Td/IPV booster vaccine in Teddington or Kingston Upon Thames?

At Herbert & Shrive Pharmacy, we provide the 3-in-1 teenage booster, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and polio, following NHS guidelines. 

This tetanus diphtheria polio vaccine is a vital part of your long-term protection. It’s usually offered to teenagers at school, but if you missed it or need it for travel or work, you can get it easily at our pharmacy. We proudly serve our local communities, including Hampton Wick, Richmond, and Twickenham. 

What is the Td/IPV Vaccine?

The Td/IPV vaccine is also known as the 3-in-1 teenage booster. It offers protection against:

  • Tetanus – caused by bacteria found in soil and animal waste; it can lead to muscle stiffness, spasms, and serious complications.
  • Diphtheria – a highly infectious illness that affects the throat and nose and can cause breathing problems or heart damage
  • Polio – a virus that can cause paralysis and life-threatening complications.

This booster is given to top up the protection from your childhood vaccinations. It’s usually offered around age 13 or 14 years at school as part of the NHS vaccination schedule.

Who Should Have the Td/IPV Booster?

  • Teenagers – aged 13 or 14, as part of routine NHS vaccinations (usually given at school).
  • Adults – who missed their teenage booster or didn’t complete the childhood vaccination course.
  • Travellers – going to areas where tetanus, diphtheria, or polio are still a risk.
  • People with wounds or injuries – especially if it’s been more than 10 years since your last tetanus booster.

If you’re unsure about your vaccination history, don’t worry – we can help you check and decide if a booster is needed.

How Safe is the DTP Vaccine?

The DTP vaccination is considered very safe. Most people have no problems at all, but some may notice mild side effects like a bit of redness, swelling, or soreness where the injection was given. Occasionally, a small, harmless lump might appear under the skin – this usually goes away on its own within a few weeks.
