The 3-in-1 teenage booster (Revaxis) protects against three serious bacterial and viral diseases: - Diphtheria: A bacterial throat and respiratory infection that produces a toxin forming a thick gray pseudo-membrane, causing airway obstruction and heart failure. - Tetanus ('lockjaw'): Caused by Clostridium tetani spores found in soil and manure entering through wounds or burns, releasing a neurotoxin that triggers painful, uncontrollable muscle spasms. - Polio (poliomyelitis): A viral infection that attacks motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to permanent paralysis and death. A booster dose every 10 years maintains protective antibody levels, especially for individuals travelling to regions where diphtheria or polio remain endemic or who sustain tetanus-prone injuries.
