One dose of Tdap vaccine is recommended for: 1  Kids aged 7 to 10 years who who did not get all 5 doses of DTaP vaccine. 2  Adolescents aged 11 to 18 years (preferably at 11 or 12 years of age). 3  Pregnant women need to get Tdap vaccine at each pregnancy, even if they've been vaccinated before.
But since immunity to pertussis also wears off during childhood, a weaker form of the pertussis vaccine has been added to the booster to make the vaccine Tdap. The current recommendation is that one dose of the Tdap vaccine be substituted for one dose of the Td vaccine between the ages of 11 and 64. Pregnant women are also advised to get the Tdap vaccine, preferably between 27 and 36 weeks' gestation.
