[|Human|] I m a 34 yes old female in decent health. Currently 31weeks pregnant. I had the Tdap done a year ago for a booster. Now my OBGYN reccomends to get the tdap again a year later.My questions:1- if my baby and I are sharing EVERYTHING including blood and antibodies why would another dose be necessary? 2- what is the overlap period, as in when is too soon to get a second dose? (Especially considering my primary care dr is not wanting to give it to me stating it s good for 4-5 yrsI am a believer in vaccines and plan on getting them for my daughter once born but something about contradicting views between drs is making my gut question whom is right and whom has an ego problem.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  Trap vaccination is given to pregnant woman in 3rd tri master-so as to protect their child from pertussis in early months of life, So women who had been given Trap are also to be vaccinated.  You had taken the Booster dose for continuing the resistance for yourself. But to offer the effect to baby you need to have a normal vaccine repeated in third trimester (taking it next year has no significance- for by the time the vaccination schedule for baby will start. ) & then adjust next boosters in the future.  Thanks.
