Yes: All the vaccines that are based on non-living material like the Tdap are safe during pregnancy.Getting one at 36 wks helps you pass antibodies to baby that protect them during their most vulnerable weeks before they can start vaccines. Pertussis is especially dangerous under 6 months of age when this infection has most of its fatalities.
