A member asked:
Is it required for pregnant women to have tetanus toxoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tetanus booster: Tetanus vaccine is recommended every 10 years. Currently, the incidence of whooping has been increasing so if you need a tetanus booster, the current recommendation is to get tdap - tetanus combined with dipththeria and wooping cough (pertussis) vaccines. All pregnant women who have not had a tetanus booster in the last 10 years are recommended to receive the tdap as well.
