BACKGROUND
The Tdap vaccine protects against three bacterial infections: Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis (whooping cough)

Parents and other close contacts (e.g. grandparents, aunts, uncles) should be immunized with pertussis-containing vaccination before birth, or as soon after the birth of the infant as possible to protect a newborn from pertussis.
