I didn't have time to get the tetanus vaccine and my c-section is tomorrow. will i or my health be at risk?

While it would have been beneficial for you and your newborn baby if you had received the TdaP vaccine during pregnancy, the main benefit is protection from Pertussis (whooping cough) for the baby. In the future, please try to get all of the recommended vaccines on time.
