By country

In the United Kingdom, DTP is called the "3-in-1 teenage booster" and protects against tetanus, diphtheria and polio. It is given by the NHS to all teenagers aged 14.. Subsequent boosters are recommended for foreign travellers where more than 10 years has passed since their last booster. This is provided on the NHS free of charge due to the significant risk that an imported case of polio could pose to public health in Britain.
In France, DTP is mandatory and given at 2 months and 4 months with a booster at 11 months. Subsequent boosters are recommended at ages 6, 11-13, 25, 45, 65, then every ten years.
In the Netherlands, DTP is given as part of the National Immunisation Programme.
