Diptheria Travel Vaccine

Diphtheria is a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the nose, throat, and sometimes the skin.

Diphtheria is highly contagious. It’s spread by coughs and sneezes, or through close contact with somebody who is infected. You can also get it by sharing items, such as cutlery, clothing, or bedding.

However, diphtheria is very rare in England because babies and children are routinely vaccinated against it. However, diptheria is found in many areas including Asia, Middle East, eastern Europe, Caribbean.

Symptoms- These usually start two to five days after becoming infected

These include:

a thick grey-white coating at the back of the throat

a high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above

sore throat

To help prevent serious complications, such as breathing difficulties or heart problems, diptheria needs to be treated quickly in hospital.

Vaccination

All children should be vaccinated against diphtheria as part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule.

Adults should consider having a booster vaccine when travelling to parts of the world where diphtheria is widespread.

People who have been in close contact with someone who has had diptheria should also consider the vaccination.
