Pertussis vaccine booster

Pertussis, also known as “whooping cough”, is making a sneaky comeback in adults. Pertussis in adults ranges from mild cough illness to classic pertussis. Complications include rib fractures resulting from severe cough and pneumonia requiring hospitalization. Adults with pertussis can transmit the infection to other people, including infants. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine use of a single dose of “TdaP” : tetanus + pertussis vaccine for adults 19-64 years of age to replace the next tetanus booster. The ACIP also recommended “TdaP” for adults who have close contact with infants <12 months of age. TdaP may be given at an interval shorter than 10 years since the last tetanus shot. It is safe to receive a “TdaP” immunization only two years after your last tetanus booster. TdaP is available at your local public health department and Shasta County Public Health Shot &
 Vaccination Services
