My sister had her baby 3 weeks ago, i would like to get the tdap shot but i am on antibiotics for acne (doxycycline) is it safe for me to get the shot or will i get sick? i am around the baby 24/7 since they live with me

No problem: The vaccine will not have any different reaction whether you are on antibiotics are not. You would only have a reaction if you are allergic to a component within the vaccine. Such reactions are rare.
