- Tdap for Adolescents & Adults
We have a 16-year-old patient who received tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine in the emergency room after a nail puncture a year ago. He has never had a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine. Can we give him a Tdap vaccine now?
Yes. There is no need to observe any minimum interval between doses of Td and Tdap except when administered as part of a catch-up primary series of tetanus vaccine.
