What is DTP Vaccine?
The DTP vaccine protects against three serious bacterial and viral diseases. Diphtheria is a bacterial throat infection that can obstruct the airway and damage the heart and nervous system. Tetanus (lockjaw) causes painful muscle spasms and can be fatal. Polio is a viral infection that can cause permanent paralysis. All three diseases remain prevalent in parts of the developing world.
We provide protection against:
- Hepatitis A & B: Essential for many tropical and developing regions.
- Typhoid: Crucial for areas with limited sanitation.
- Rabies: Recommended for long term travelers or those visiting remote areas.
- Japanese Encephalitis & Tick Borne Encephalitis: Specialist protection for rural travelers.
- Meningitis ACWY: Mandatory for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
Who Should Receive This Vaccination?
- Travellers visiting countries where polio or diphtheria remain endemic, including parts of South Asia and Africa
- Individuals who have sustained a wound and are uncertain of their tetanus status
- Adults who have not received a booster within the last 10 years and are at increased risk
- Healthcare workers or individuals working in environments with exposure risk
- Those completing a catch-up vaccination schedule
Vaccination Schedule

Frequently Asked Question
How often do adults need a tetanus booster?
For most adults, a tetanus booster is recommended every 10 years, or following a wound that carries a risk of tetanus infection, such as a deep puncture wound, animal bite, or contaminated injury. If you are unsure when you last received a tetanus injection, Massinghams Chemist on Roman Road, Bethnal Green, can assess your risk and administer a booster where necessary.
Do I need a DTP booster before travelling to certain countries?
Yes. A DTP booster is recommended for travellers visiting countries where polio or diphtheria remain endemic, including parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. If you have not received a booster in the last 10 years and are planning international travel, our pharmacists at Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green can administer a booster prior to departure.
What should I do if I have a wound and I am not sure of my tetanus status?
If you have sustained a wound and are uncertain whether your tetanus vaccinations are up to date, you should seek medical attention promptly. Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green can assess the risk associated with your wound and administer a tetanus injection where clinically indicated. For wounds with a high risk of infection, additional treatment may be required and we will refer you appropriately.
Is the DTP vaccine the same as the tetanus injection?
The DTP vaccine is a combined vaccination that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and polio in a single injection. A standalone tetanus vaccine is also available for individuals who have completed their DTP primary course and require tetanus-only protection. Our pharmacists at Massinghams Chemist in Bethnal Green will advise on the most clinically appropriate option based on your vaccination history.
Can children receive the DTP vaccine at your Bethnal Green pharmacy?
The DTP vaccine is part of the NHS routine childhood immunisation schedule. If your child has missed scheduled doses, we recommend contacting your GP in the first instance for NHS catch-up vaccination. For private catch-up vaccination or for adult boosters, Massinghams Chemist on Roman Road, Bethnal Green, can assist. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
