Diphtheria (standalone) Vaccine in HORNCHURCH

About this service at Healthcare Pharmacy - Hornchurch

Diphtheria is an acute, life-threatening infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae that typically affects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract or skin. The bacteria produce a potent exotoxin that can cause myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation), polyneuritis, airway blockage, and death. While diphtheria vaccination in the UK is predominantly administered as part of combined vaccines (such as DTP or Revaxis), standalone or low-dose adult formulations are utilized in specific clinical scenarios, specialized travel requirements, occupational protocols, or when combined components are contraindicated.
