Polio booster

[user1465146157]

Hello - does anyone know if the Polio booster also includes diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough)?

or is it just solely for Polio?

thank you in advance

What age group is it for?

Diptneria, tetanus and polio in one jab.

If it was the polio offered as a booster campaign in London then I think it was just polio. From what I've read the programme was suspended over Christmas so isn't offered just now

Actually having googled the vaccines given they are not just polio but cover other things too. Sorry for my misinformation

@dementedpixie its for a 2 year old and 5 year old

it's ok thank you - I appreciate your reply.
Basically we are having travel vaccinations the week after this so don't want to double up on anything - rang the surgery but they don't know if it's just Polio or the others are included.

I thought usually with Polio there are other illnesses covered (i.e like the 6 in 1, 4 in 1 vaccines) but nobody seems to know for sure...

@dementedpixie from your post it looks like it's just a single polio dose, and no other illnesses are included - do you read it the same way?

No, if you Google the names of the vaccines they cover other things other than polio

I think they mean it's a single dose rather than a single polio vaccine. All the names they give are combined vaccines

that makes sense thank you so much!
