The Tdap vaccine is a combination vaccine. It protects preteens and adults against three diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough).
Tetanus和Diphtheria今天在美国很少见，但越来越咳嗽继续传播。
TDAP代表破伤风（T），白喉，（D）和无仔植物（AP）。TDAP疫苗于2005年为年龄较大的儿童和成人提供。在2005年之前，任何超过6岁以上的人都没有Pertussis疫苗。
Tdap is different than the DTaP vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough), which is given to infants and children in five doses, starting at 2 months of age. Tdap is only for those above age 7.
Is it a live vaccine?
Nope. Diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccines aren’t live vaccinations.
疫苗的类型不存在的内容包括：
- inactivated vaccines, which contain microbes killed by chemicals, heat, or radiation
- subunits, which contain only part of the microbe
- toxoids, which contain inactivated toxins
- 缀合物，其含有与毒素有关的亚基
由于TDAP疫苗不居住，因此不能造成这些疾病。
破伤风
破伤风不是传染病，这意味着它不会将人员传递给人。细菌通常在土壤，灰尘和粪肥中发现，并通过皮肤中的突破进入身体。
破伤风通常被称为洛克爪，因为钳口肌的紧缩是这种感染最常见的迹象之一。
破伤风can lead to serious health problems, including an inability to open your mouth and difficulty swallowing and breathing.
Today, tetanus is uncommon in the United States, with an average of about
白喉
白喉is caused by strains of bacteria that are typically transmitted through respiratory droplets, coughing, or sneezing.
人们还可以从与含有细菌的开放疮或溃疡接触收缩白喉。
细菌通常影响呼吸系统，这可能导致：
- 弱点
- 咽喉痛
- 低烧
- swollen glands in the neck
白喉会导致呼吸困难，心力衰竭，瘫痪，甚至死亡。
百日咳
The Tdap vaccine protects against whooping cough, which can be debilitating and last for months. It can cause uncontrollable, violent coughing that makes it hard to breathe or consume food or drinks.
Tdap also helps protect infants who are too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough. Parents, siblings, and grandparents are often the source of whooping cough in infants.
Young children have been vaccinated against whooping cough since the 1940s. But protection against the disease naturally wears off over time, so booster vaccines can help keep up immunity. To stay up to date, contact a healthcare professional to set up routine reviews of vaccine history for you and your child.
每个疫苗都有副作用的机会，而TDAP疫苗也不例外。幸运的是，与TDAP报告的副作用通常是温和的，并自己消失。
轻度至中等副作用可能包括：
- 注射部位轻度疼痛，发红，或肿胀
- fatigue
- body aches
- 头痛
- nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- 低烧
- 给出疫苗的整个手臂肿胀
Severe problems after the Tdap vaccine are rarely reported, but may include:
- 注射部位严重肿胀，疼痛或出血
- a very high fever
- signs of allergic reaction within a few minutes to a few hours of vaccine, which may include hives, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, and dizziness
If you notice any of these severe symptoms after receiving the Tdap vaccine, seek medical attention.
疫苗的成本是在大多数私人保险计划下涵盖的。请务必查看您的保险提供商以获取详细信息。你也可以咨询你的state health departmentsor local health centers for low-cost or free vaccinations.
Tdap vaccines are also covered under Medicare part D plans. There may be a cost associated with your specific plan, though, so check with your Medicare representative.
The
If you’re pregnant, once you have protection from the vaccine, whooping cough is less likely to transmit to a newborn. Infants are more likely to develop severe, life threatening complications from whooping cough.
