About This Service
TDaP Vaccine Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis
This is a home service TDaP vaccination administered by a licensed medical practitioner and includes a vaccination card. TDaP vaccine can prevent tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Diphtheria and pertussis spread from person to person. Tetanus enters the body through cuts or wounds.
TETANUS (T) causes painful stiffening of the muscles. Tetanus can lead to serious health problems, including being unable to open the mouth, having trouble swallowing and breathing, or death.
DIPHTHERIA (D) can lead to difficulty breathing, heart failure, paralysis, or death.
PERTUSSIS (aP), also known as “whooping cough,” can cause uncontrollable, violent coughing which makes it hard to breathe, eat, or drink. This can be extremely serious in babies and young children, causing pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage, or death. In teens and adults, it can cause weight loss, loss of bladder control, passing out, and rib fractures from severe coughing.
Frequency of shots, dosing scheduleAnti-Tetanus Serum: Typically administered in emergency situations, such as when a person has suffered a deep or dirty wound and has not received a tetanus vaccine within the past 5-10 years. The dosing schedule for anti-tetanus serum varies based on the severity of the wound and the individual's vaccination history, but typically a single dose is administered at the time of the injury. In some cases, additional doses may be recommended based on the wound and the individual's vaccination history.
Tetanus Toxoid:
Children: Three (3) doses are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age, followed by a booster dose at 15-18 months of age and another booster between 4-6 years of age. A booster dose is also recommended during adolescence, typically between the ages of 11-12 years.
Adults: Three (3) doses are recommended if no previous vaccination history exists. The doses are typically given at 0, 1-2 months, and 6-12 months. After completing the primary series, a booster dose is recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity.
For individuals who have experienced a significant injury or have a higher risk of exposure to tetanus (such as healthcare workers or those traveling to areas with limited medical facilities): a booster dose may be recommended sooner.
TDaP:
Children: The first dose of TDAP is recommended at 11-12 years of age. A booster shot is recommended at 16-18 years of age.
Adults: Adults who have never received a dose of TDAP should get a single dose as soon as possible. Adults who have received a dose of TDAP should receive a booster every 10 years.
Pregnant Women: Pregnant women should receive a dose of TDAP during each pregnancy, preferably between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation. This helps protect the newborn baby from pertussis.

Anyone who had an allergic reaction after a previous dose of any vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, or pertussis, or has any severe, life-threatening allergies, had a coma, decreased level of consciousness, or prolonged seizures within 7 days after a previous dose of any pertussis vaccine (DTP, DTaP, or TDaP), had seizures or another nervous system problem, had Guillain-Barré Syndrome (also called GBS), and had severe pain or swelling after a previous dose of any vaccine that protects against tetanus or diphtheria.
