A member asked:

Is it safe to get a tdap tetanus booster while taking 10 mg of methiamazole for graves disease? is the tdap considered a "live" vaccine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes/no: Yes it is safe to get and no it is not a "live vaccine". The live vaccines commonly in use include the nasal flu vaccine, and the MMR.
