We do recommend that everyone who will come in contact with the newborn be vaccinated with Tdap, Flu, (and covid-19 for that matter). You do not have to get them at the same time, but it is ok to do so. Both vaccines can cause a local reaction (sore arms), so you can expect that at a minimum, but most people do not have as severe of a reaction to Tdap and Flu as they did to their Covid vaccines.
