Td/IPV Vaccine

At Neem Tree Pharmacy in Abbeywood, we provide the Td/IPV vaccine, a crucial booster immunisation protecting against diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. This 3-in-1 teenage booster ensures long-term immunity and is recommended for adolescents and adults needing additional protection.
 

What Is the Td/IPV Vaccine?

The Td/IPV vaccine is a combined immunisation that boosts immunity against three serious diseases:

• Diphtheria – A bacterial infection affecting the nose, throat, and sometimes skin.
• Tetanus – A life-threatening condition caused by bacteria entering wounds.
• Polio (IPV) – A virus that can cause paralysis.

This vaccine is typically given as a teenage booster around 14 years of age, but may also be required for adults who missed earlier doses.

Who Needs the Td/IPV Vaccine?

The NHS recommends the Td/IPV vaccine for:

• Teenagers aged 14 (as part of the school vaccination programme)
• Adults who haven’t had a booster in the last 10 years
• Travellers to high-risk countries
• Individuals with incomplete vaccination history

If you're unsure whether you need this vaccine, our Abbeywood pharmacists can check your records and advise you.

How and When Is the Vaccine Given?

The Td/IPV vaccine is administered as a single injection in the upper arm.

• Teenagers: Usually given at school (Year 9) or at a local clinic.
• Adults: Can receive it at Neem Tree Pharmacy if they missed earlier doses.
• Booster requirement: Every 10 years for tetanus and diphtheria if travelling to high-risk areas.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Most people experience mild side effects, such as:

Serious side effects are extremely rare. Our pharmacists will provide aftercare advice following your vaccination.
