Tetanus vaccine: Usually it is recommended that women who are pregnant between 27-36 weeks receive a single dose of TDaP. TDaP which has tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis is best as it will also protect the mother and baby from pertussis(whooping cough). If there are booster injections, they are usually given after delivery to boost immunity to women who may have never had the vaccine before.
