Tdap Vaccine Overview and Guidelines

The Tdap vaccine is a booster vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. It works by exposing the body to a small dose of bacteria or protein to develop immunity. For adults aged 19-64, the recommended dosage is a single 0.5 mL dose intramuscularly every 10 years. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, nausea and sore joints. The vaccine is contraindicated for those with severe allergic reactions to prior vaccines or components. Nurses should monitor for potential adverse effects and educate patients.
