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. A similar vaccine, called Td, protects from 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 not already gotten a dose. Tdap may also be given after a severe cut or burn to prevent tetanus infection.
