Clinical brief · Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio

What every traveller should know.

Three things every traveller should understand before boarding.
Tetanus Vaccine
Revaxis — tetanus / diphtheria / polio cover, 10-year boost

Transmission

Tetanus enters through wounds contaminated with soil. Diphtheria spreads via respiratory droplets and skin contact. Polio spreads through contaminated food and water. All three are vaccine-preventable.

Geography

Tetanus is a worldwide risk. Diphtheria circulates in parts of Asia, Africa, the South Pacific and former Soviet states. Polio remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with outbreaks in several African countries.

Immunity

A single dose of REVAXIS boosts your existing routine immunity for around 10 years. UK adults who received the full childhood schedule plus the 14-year booster only need this one combined jab before travel.

Symptoms to watch for

Why these three matter.

All three diseases can be fatal — but routine UK vaccination has made them rare here. Travel can re-expose you.

Tetanus: lockjaw

Muscle spasms, breathing difficulty.

Diphtheria: throat membrane

Difficulty breathing, heart damage.

Polio: paralysis

Asymmetric limb weakness.

Fever (all three)

Common early symptom.

Diphtheria: sore throat

With characteristic membrane.

Polio: meningitis-like

Headache, neck stiffness.

Tetanus: cardiac strain

From persistent spasm.

Eligibility checklist

You should book Revaxis if…

  • It has been 10 years or more since your last tetanus/polio booster.
  • You are travelling to a country where polio is still endemic (Afghanistan, Pakistan).
  • You are travelling to regions where diphtheria circulates (parts of Asia and Africa).
  • You will undertake adventure activities with risk of soil-contaminated wounds.
  • You are aged 6 years or older.
Severe allergy to a previous dose or to vaccine excipients excludes. Most UK adults have completed routine childhood schedule — pharmacist will check records on the day.
