In , the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices published its updated recommendation that a dose of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis Tdap should be administered during each pregnancy, irrespective of the prior history of receiving Tdap.
The recommended timing for maternal Tdap vaccination is between 27 weeks and 36 weeks of gestation. To maximize the maternal antibody response and passive antibody transfer and levels in the newborn, vaccination as early as possible in the 27—weeks-of-gestation window is recommended. However, the Tdap vaccine may be safely given at any time during pregnancy if needed for wound management, pertussis outbreaks, or other extenuating circumstances.
There is no evidence of adverse fetal effects from vaccinating pregnant women with an inactivated virus or bacterial vaccine or toxoid, and a growing body of robust data demonstrate safety of such use. Adolescent and adult family members and caregivers who previously have not received the Tdap vaccine and who have or anticipate having close contact with an infant younger than 12 months should receive a single dose of Tdap to protect against pertussis. Given the rapid evolution of data surrounding this topic, immunization guidelines are likely to change over time, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will continue to issue updates accordingly.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ACOG makes the following recommendations: Obstetric care providers should administer the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis Tdap vaccine to all pregnant patients during each pregnancy, as early in the 27—weeks-of-gestation window as possible. Pregnant women should be counseled that the administration of the Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy is safe and important to make sure that each newborn receives the highest possible protection against pertussis at birth.
Obstetrician—gynecologists are encouraged to stock and administer the Tdap vaccine in their offices. Partners, family members, and infant caregivers should be offered the Tdap vaccine if they have not previously been vaccinated. Ideally, all family members should be vaccinated at least 2 weeks before coming in contact with the newborn.
If not administered during pregnancy, the Tdap vaccine should be given immediately postpartum if the woman has never received a prior dose of Tdap as an adolescent, adult, or during a previous pregnancy. There are certain circumstances in which it is appropriate to administer the Tdap vaccine outside of the 27—weeks-of-gestation window.
For example, in cases of wound management, a pertussis outbreak, or other extenuating circumstances, the need for protection from infection supercedes the benefit of administering the vaccine during the 27—weeks-of-gestation window. If a pregnant woman is vaccinated early in her pregnancy ie, before 27—36 weeks of gestation , she does not need to be vaccinated again during 27—36 weeks of gestation.
The overwhelming majority of morbidity and mortality attributable to pertussis infection occurs in infants who are 3 months and younger 1.
Infants do not begin their own vaccine series against pertussis with the diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis [DTaP] vaccine until approximately 2 months of age the earliest possible vaccination is at 6 weeks of age 2.
This leaves a window of significant vulnerability for newborns, many of whom contract serious pertussis infections from family members and caregivers, especially the mother, or older siblings, or both 3 4 5. Cocooning is the administration of Tdap to previously unvaccinated family members and caregivers, and women in the immediate postpartum period, in order to provide a protective cocoon of immunity around the newborn.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and ACOG continue to recommend that adolescent and adult family members and caregivers who previously have not received the Tdap vaccine and who have or anticipate having close contact with an infant younger than 12 months should receive a single dose of Tdap to protect against pertussis 7.
However, the cocooning approach alone is no longer the recommended approach to preventing pertussis disease in newborns and mothers 8. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices continued to reconsider this topic in the face of persistent increases in pertussis disease, including infant deaths 9 in the United States. Issues that were considered included an imperative to minimize the significant burden of disease in vulnerable newborns, the reassuring safety data 10 11 on use of Tdap in adults, and the evolving immunogenicity data that demonstrate considerable waning of immunity after immunization In , ACIP published its updated recommendation that a dose of Tdap should be administered during each pregnancy, irrespective of prior history of receiving the Tdap vaccine 7.
However, the Tdap vaccine may safely be given at any time during pregnancy if needed in the case of wound management, pertussis outbreaks, or other extenuating circumstances in which the need for protection from infection supercedes the benefit of administering the vaccine during the 27—weeks-of-gestation window.
Additional data available since increasingly demonstrate that administration of Tdap during the late second or early third trimester with at least 2 weeks from the time of vaccination to delivery is highly effective in protecting against neonatal pertussis 13 14 15 In addition, even when maternal vaccination is not completely protective, infants with pertussis whose mothers received Tdap during pregnancy had significantly less morbidity, including risk of hospitalization and intensive care unit admission Safety data also continue to be reassuring, including when women receive successive Tdap immunizations over a relatively short time because of short-interval pregnancies.
New data demonstrate that immunizing against Tdap early within the 27—weeks-of-gestation window maximizes the maternal antibody response and passive antibody transfer to the fetus Therefore, giving the Tdap vaccine as early as possible in the 27—weeks-of-gestation window appears to be the best strategy 18 Linking the Tdap vaccination to screening for gestational diabetes will allow this to be implemented easily. For women who are Rh negative, another strategy worth consideration is to administer Tdap vaccination during the same visit as Rho D immune globulin administration.
Receipt of Tdap between 27 weeks and 36 weeks of gestation in each pregnancy is critical. For women who have never received a prior dose of Tdap, if Tdap was not administered during pregnancy, it should be administered immediately postpartum in order to reduce the risk of transmission to the newborns 7.
A woman who did not receive the Tdap vaccine during her most recent pregnancy, but received it previously as an adolescent, adult, or during a prior pregnancy should not receive Tdap postpartum.
Additionally, adolescent and adult family members and planned caregivers who have not received the Tdap vaccine also should receive Tdap at least 2 weeks before planned infant contact, as previously recommended sustained efforts at cocooning 6. Pregnant women should be counseled that Tdap vaccination during each pregnancy is safe and important to make sure that each newborn receives the highest possible protection against pertussis at birth.
Since protection from previous vaccination is likely to decrease over time, a Tdap vaccination is necessary during every pregnancy to give the best possible protection to the newborn. Data consistently demonstrate that when a physician recommends and offers a vaccine on site the rate of vaccine acceptance is significantly higher than when physicians either do not recommend, or recommend but do not offer the vaccine The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists encourages obstetrician—gynecologists and other obstetric care providers to strongly recommend and offer Tdap vaccination to all pregnant women between 27 weeks and 36 weeks of gestation in each pregnancy.
Depending on the size of a practice and services provided, there may not be the means to supply and offer the Tdap vaccine in the office. Talk to your doctor about whether getting the vaccine is a good idea if your child had any of the following after an earlier DTaP shot:. Your doctor might give a partial vaccine or no vaccine, or may decide that the benefits of vaccinating your child outweigh the potential risks.
Your child may have a fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. For pain and fever, check with your doctor to see if you can give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen , and to find out the right dose. A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad on the injection site may help reduce soreness, as can moving or using the arm. Larger text size Large text size Regular text size. What Are Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis? The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis DTaP vaccine protects against: Diphtheria : a serious infection of the throat that can block the airway and cause severe breathing problems Tetanus lockjaw : a nerve disease that can happen at any age, caused by toxin-producing bacteria contaminating a wound Pertussis whooping cough : a respiratory illness with cold-like symptoms that lead to severe coughing the "whooping" sound happens when a child breathes in deeply after a severe coughing fit.
Serious complications can affect children under 1 year old, and those younger than 6 months old are especially at risk. Although the risk of having a severe allergic reaction to a Tdap vaccine is very low, certain people should avoid getting the Tdap vaccine, including:. You can also reach out to federally funded health centers as well as your state health department to learn where to get a vaccine near you.
Getting a Tdap vaccine is an important part of maintaining your health as well as the health of infants. Reach out to your healthcare professional on a regular basis to make sure that your Tdap vaccinations are up to date. Tdap and DTaP are two vaccines that both protect against three diseases: Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, also known as whooping cough.
