A member asked:
I am 63 year old male is it okay to have pertusis vaccine given to me twice?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Worse case scenerio: your arm is a little sorer or perhaps a little swollen, more likely from the diptheria or tetanus part of the vaccine than from the pertussis part of the vaccine.

Yes: Yes, please do. With pertussis on the rise i recommend a tetanus and pertussis booster in the 50s or 60s. Especially if you are around children.
