: You should not get any vaccines within 2 weeks of the COVID-19 vaccine. So, if you get the Tdap vaccine, you will need to wait 2 weeks after the Tdap vaccine to get your second COVID-19 vaccine. If you get the Covid-19 vaccine, you will need to wait 2 weeks to get the Tdap vaccine. The vaccines need to be spaced apart by 2 weeks. Good luck!!
