Three-in-one diphtheria, tetanus, and polio vaccines protect you from infectious toxins. The deadly virus can paralyze you. Vaccinations are the best way to prevent infection. See all NHS Vaccinations.
In countries of high risk, it may be necessary to get the combined booster before travelling. These include countries that have poor sanitation and hygiene standards.
Travelling exposes us to new experiences, people, and cultures. It allows us to explore new horizons, broadening our perspectives and enriching our lives. But travelling also comes with its risks. Among the most serious of these is the danger of travelling without being properly vaccinated.
Travelling unvaccinated, you risk contracting these diseases, which range from mild illnesses to severe diseases that may be life-threatening. For example, diseases like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and certain forms of influenza are common in some regions, and exposure without vaccination can lead to serious health consequences.
The Risk of Spreading Disease
Vaccinations not only protect you but also the communities you visit. When you’re unvaccinated, you risk becoming a carrier of diseases that you may contract in one place, only to spread them to others when you return home or travel elsewhere. By getting vaccinated, you’re protecting both your health and the health of those around you.
The Risk to Public Health
On a broader scale, travelling without a vaccine contributes to a greater public health risk. The global pandemic has shown us just how quickly diseases can spread in our interconnected world. Diseases do not recognise borders. They can rapidly hop from country to country, enabled by unvaccinated travellers.
