The tdap seems more important then the flu shot too me. But I already got my flu shot and I'm getting my tdap Monday. My boyfriend got his tdap 2 days ago.

Is it safe to get while pregnant, or are you supposed to do it before or after ? I know the flu shot is fine, but never heard of tdap

I would recommend you do it with the increased cases of whooping cough going around. It will help prevent you from giving it to baby and baby will also get some of that same protection from the vaccine as well

Yes, I would most definitely get the t dap.The whooping cough is showing up more and more these days. It is better safe than sorry. Me and my husband both took the tdap. Its recommended that anyone who is going to be in close contact with the newborn to have it. If a new born catches the whooping cough the mortality rate is prettt high.
