Important Notice for Allerton High Parents: DTP Year 9 Vaccinations on 15th July

On the 15th of July, Allerton High School will be administering DTP vaccinations to all Year 9 pupils.

The DTP vaccine is a combined vaccine that protects against three serious diseases:

1. Diphtheria: A bacterial infection that can cause severe respiratory issues, heart failure, paralysis, or even death.

2. Tetanus: Also known as lockjaw, this disease is caused by bacteria entering the body through cuts or wounds. It can lead to severe muscle stiffness and spasms, impacting the ability to breathe and move.

3. Pertussis (Whooping Cough): A highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause uncontrollable, violent coughing, making it hard to breathe. It is especially dangerous for infants and young children.

Why is it Important?

The DTP vaccine helps to prevent the spread of these serious diseases, ensuring that our children are protected and contributing to the overall public health.
