A member asked:
Is there a tdap/whooping cough vaccine for teenagers?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes and no: I usually give the final whooping cough booster at 11 or 12,but the same TdaP could be given to any teen or adult that wanted to boost their immunity. It is commonly recommended to young parents to help protect their new baby until they are mature enough to start the vaccines.
