Can Tdap Vaccine Be Taken During Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016
Question: Hello-

I'm fairly certain I had a TDAP shot 2-3 years ago but can't find my medical records. Are there any increased risks to be aware of, that are present in just a standard booster shot, if I were to get another one? We have a baby that is due in 2 weeks and just want to be certain. Thanks!
