Disclaimer		 TDaP Vaccine (Tetanus, Diptheria & Acelular Pertussis vaccine)

TDaP vaccine protects adolescents against Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis commonly from skin contact and from person to person transmission. TDap vaccine is also known as the tetanus shot. 

The vaccine is now routinely given at the 11 year old well check before they enter the 6th grade in Fairfax country. Boosters are recommended every 10 years thereafter into adulthood. Patients are given a booster if it has been less than 5 years from their previous TDaP vaccine.   

Please read the Vaccine information sheet (VIS) for TDaP for more information. We will also provide you with the VIS at the time of the vaccine administration.
