Can my childhood pertussis vaccination and my current Tetanus vaccination be combined to meet Tdap requirements?No. The Tdap vaccination is composed of Tetanus, pertussis and diphtheria vaccines. If you received a childhood pertussis vaccination of pertussis, the Tdap is a much needed booster. Children are given a DTaP not Tdap. After a child DTaP vaccination has expired, they should be given Tdap.The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidelines for the Td booster vaccine: ... Td protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis. A Td booster should be given every 10 years. Tdap may be given as one of these boosters if you have never gotten Tdap before.For your convenience, you may purchase a MinuteClinicTM Td Booster vaccination directly through SEC3URE:
