Confusing!: Who is getting what? Is your pregnant niece having iron infusions and Tdap vaccination simultaneously and afraid of interaction? or the people around her, including yourself, are getting the Tdap while she is pregnant and afraid of getting exposed? No interaction if given together, and no danger of exposure to vaccinated people. Obstetrician would decide on whether the pregnant would need the vaccine

Facts: The material in the TdaP is safe and effective when given to someone getting iron infusions and it will not interact with or hurt the therapy. Babies are most at risk of dying from whooping cough in the first months of life before they can build adequate immunity. The mothers shot helps provide temporary help to baby but this wears off.Everybody coming in contact with young infants needs boosters
