My son is 16 months old with a 4 day fever that fever reducers do help. I'm unsure if it is reasonable to believe the fever is a vaccination response. He got MMR, Tdap, and chickenpox 10 days ago?

I took Tetanus diphtheria pertussis vaccine dtap/Tdap. I don't remember last when i took this vaccine. Maybe when child/teen I'm 21 years old now. I have just read Pertussis vaccine should not be taken before 10 years of last dose. Is there any risk?
If I had all childhood tetanus shots and I had my 6th dose being TDaP 8 years ago, can I still get tetanus from a cut? I'm 19 years old.

They gave my son tdap during 10 year check up. CDC website says 11-12. Is it ok that he got it early?
