Pregnant women should get one dose of Tdap vaccine every pregnancy, preferably early in the 3rd trimester. Adults should get one dose of Tdap or Td every 10 years.
Adults who have never received Tdap should get it in place of a Td dose. Vaccine Information Statements.

Tdap Vaccines for adolescents and adults. Common Side Effects Pain, redness, or swelling where the shot was given Mild fever Headache Feeling tired Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach ache. The United States introduced the first tetanus-toxoid containing vaccine into the routine childhood immunization schedule in the late s.
At that time, states reported between and cases each year. Tetanus infections steadily declined after the vaccination recommendation. Today, tetanus is uncommon in the United States, with an average of 30 reported cases each year. Studies estimate that tetanus toxoid-containing vaccines protect essentially all people for approximately 10 years.
Whooping cough vaccines became widely available in the s. Before then, about , children got sick and about 9, died from whooping cough each year in the United States.
After vaccine introduction, whooping cough cases reached an all-time low in the s. Since then, there has been a slow but steady increase in reported whooping cough cases. There are several reasons likely contributing to this increase:. The bacteria that cause pertussis are also always changing at a genetic level. Research is underway to determine if any of the changes are having an impact on public health. However, the latest studies suggest that pertussis vaccines continue to be effective despite recent genetic changes.
In the s, the United States switched from whole cell to acellular whooping cough vaccines for babies and children. Acellular whooping cough vaccines have fewer side effects, but do not appear to protect for as long. In general, DTaP is effective for 8 or 9 in 10 children who get it. Among children who get all 5 shots of DTaP on schedule, effectiveness is very high. The vaccine protects nearly all children 98 in within the year following the last shot. About 7 in 10 kids are fully protected 5 years after getting their last shot of DTaP.
The other 3 in 10 kids are partially protected and are less likely to have serious disease if they do get whooping cough. In the first year after getting the vaccine, Tdap protects about 7 in 10 people. There is a decrease in effectiveness in each following year. The vaccine fully protects about 3 or 4 in 10 people 4 years after getting Tdap. A CDC evaluation found Tdap vaccination during the third trimester of pregnancy prevents more than 3 in 4 cases of whooping cough in babies younger than 2 months old.
They were right. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC characterized the influenza season as "high severity" based on the number of people visiting doctors and hospitals with flu-like illness, hospitalizations for flu, and geographical concentrations of flu in various regions. Because flu predictions are made based on the previous season, many medical experts worry that this year could be even worse.
While the CDC can't yet make an official prediction regarding this flu season's severity, they can say, based on prior years' reports, that flu activity will most likely increase starting in October and November and peak between December and February, although flu has been reported as late as May.
As far as where flu will hit the hardest and when, the CDC recommends looking at last season's " Flu View" interactive state-by-state, week-by-week flu report.
FluView is updated for the public between early October and late May, although flu surveillance continues all year long at surveillance centers. Here are some observations that may be worth noting. Flu activity was so widespread last season that in mid-January, the CDC held a briefing on the topic, during which it was stated that "flu is everywhere in the United States Here's what not to do if you want to make sure your flu vaccine is effective.
Hawaii and Oklahoma were the first states to report flu outbreaks: Their first reports were for the week ending October 10, —week one of the flu season. Here are the myths that you shouldn't believe about flu vaccines. In the second and third weeks of the flu season, Oklahoma and Hawaii were joined by these states in reporting local flu outbreaks.
However, the following week, none of those states had local or regional outbreaks, and only Georgia and Iowa reported local flu activity. In the last week of December, North Carolina reported that flu was widespread across the state, followed by Maryland, Massachusetts, California, and Iowa. Widespread flu outbreaks continued to hit all states throughout March; the first ones to show a decline in cases included: West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Indiana, and Georgia.
Here's how you might be making your flu or cold even worse. Hawaii's flu season was significantly less severe than the national average, as you can see on the graph regarding influenza-like-illness reports in Hawaii : Although the state reported sporadic cases throughout the season and had the longest flu season of any state, Hawaii also had the fewest cases. Even more remarkable: Hawaii had fewer deaths from flu and zero flu deaths of children.
By comparison, there were pediatric flu deaths across the country during the season, the highest number in years. Tragically, 80 percent of those deaths could have been prevented with a flu vaccine; the CDC recommends a flu shot for everyone over six months of age.
Next, read about the surprising ways you can prevent the flu. The post Tdap vs. A German woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the death of a Yazidi girl in what's believed to be the first trial of an ISIS member for crimes against the minority group. Ad Microsoft.
Full screen. Predicting the flu Scientists make predictions about the flu long before flu season even hits, including: Which strains of the "influenza virus" are most likely to spread and cause illness in the upcoming flu season so that vaccines can be developed to protect against the top three or four and Where people will be hit hardest both in terms of numbers of illnesses and severity of illness.
Last year was one of the worst in years Scientists predicted last year's flu season would be the worst in years. This means broken down parts of the bacterium Bordetella pertussis that causes whooping cough is used to make the vaccine. In the past, the whole bacterium was used in the vaccine, but it tended to cause more side effects.
For babies and children under age 7, DTaP is used. This provides better protection early on. Some DTaP vaccines also protect against other diseases. For adults who need protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough, Tdap is used. Even an adult who has never had a tetanus, diphtheria, or whooping cough vaccine gets Tdap.
The more people who are vaccinated, the fewer cases there are of these diseases. Only people who have an allergy to the vaccine or any of its ingredients should avoid these vaccines. If you or your child is sick at the scheduled time, the vaccination may be delayed. Vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect against a disease.
Both DTaP and Tdap protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. Babies and children under age 7 get DTaP. Adults and children over age 7 get Tdap.
