A 30-year-old woman is 8 months pregnant. She received all of her recommended childhood vaccines and Tdap during her last pregnancy 3 years ago. Should she receive Tdap vaccine today?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A pregnant woman should be given the Tdap vaccine in each pregnancy, no matter if it has already been applied in previous pregnancies

Explanation:

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Tdap should be administered to all pregnant women during each pregnancy, as early in the 27 - 36 weeks of gestation as possible, because it’s safe and important that each baby receives the highest possible protection against pertussis at birth.
