Since the liver is also responsible for producing bile, another form of detoxification that is metabolically necessary for the breakdown and assimilation of fats and proteins from your food, it is exceedingly important that your liver be properly maintained.
ACIP says safety data show Tdap is safe for both the mother and fetus and that any potential risks are likely to be small. The most common side effects reported were pain, redness and swelling at the site of the injection. Fever, headache and muscle pain were also reported, but there were no serious adverse events linked to the vaccine.
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.
