Tdap Vaccine During Pregnancy: Research on Safety and Effectiveness
Update: 2024-10-13
Description
Tdap is an inactivated vaccine that protects you against three different illnesses: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Pertussis is commonly known as whooping cough. The Tdap vaccine is recommended between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The main reason any vaccine is recommended during pregnancy is for the passive immunity your baby receives. Vaccines are a complex and often controversial topic. This episode follows a systematic approach that includes thorough research to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Tdap vaccine.
