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.
Pregnant women should get a dose of Tdap during every pregnancy, to protect the newborn from pertussis. Infants are most at risk for severe, life-threatening complications from pertussis. Another vaccine, called Td, protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis. A Td booster should be given every 10 years. Tdap may be given as one of these boosters if you have never gotten Tdap before.
