What is Tdap?
The Tdap
vaccination is a 3-in-1 vaccination that protects you against three potentially dangerous diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). This vaccination is given as part of the National Childhood Immunisation Programme. In adulthood however, antibody levels can decline significantly with age causing older adults to be at risk of contracting the infection.
Who should have Tdap vaccination?
- Adults should receive a single dose of Tdap every 10 years.
- Adults in close contact with an infant aged less than 12 months , especially if their last Tdap vaccination was more than 10 years ago
- Women of childbearing age before pregnancy, during the third trimester of every pregnancy, or immediately after delivery.
How many doses are required?
- A single dose every ten years
- A single dose during the third trimester of every pregnancy, or immediately after delivery, regardless of interval from the last Tdap./Td vaccination.

What is Tdap? Diphtheria is a serious throat infection that causes a greyish membrane to form in the throat. This leads to difficulty in swallowing, breathing and is potentially fatal. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets or close person-to-person contact. Diphtheria may develop in both children and adults, with those aged 40 to 64 years particularly at risk. Pertussis or whooping cough is a highly contagious and deadly respiratory illness characterized by prolonged and severe coughing fits associated with vomiting, breathing difficulty, bleeding vessels in the whites of the eye. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets or close person-to-person contact. The disease is most severe among infants, but adults may also develop the disease due to decline in immunity.
