Understanding Diphtheria

Diphtheria is a serious infectious bacterial disease that can cause significant breathing difficulties. Without proper vaccination, severe cases may lead to respiratory failure, heart failure or toxic build-up in the nervous system—all potentially fatal complications.

Comprehensive Vaccination Solution

Diphtheria protection is achievable through a simple, effective vaccine. Our professional service offers a single-course injection for travellers to at-risk regions. This advanced three-part vaccine provides comprehensive protection against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio simultaneously. While vaccination against Diphtheria forms part of the UK’s childhood immunisation schedule, many adults require boosters or missed their childhood vaccinations.

Essential Information

Age Requirements

You must be at least 6 years old to receive this vaccination.

Duration of Protection

Immunity typically lasts for up to 10 years, after which our medical professionals recommend a booster dose to maintain optimal protection.

This bacterial disease, caused by Corynebacterium Diphtheria, is transmitted through:

  • Close physical interaction with infected individuals in crowded environments
  • Airborne droplet transmission through coughing and sneezing

  • Fever and chills
