It wasn't my regular doctor that I got the shot from (just a random family practitioner that I went to for an ear problem) so I'll have to do a little research and figure this out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-396596 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:57:32 +0000 stiffaknee 396596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me that about a year and a half ago, they started including the whooping cough vaccine with the tetanus booster. If you tell your doctor when you had the booster, they should be able to tell you if it included the whooping cough booster too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395718 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:39:30 +0000 WALLAROO 395718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your doctor should be able to tell you if it was just tetanus or included all three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395657 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:06:21 +0000 JerricaBenton 395657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband had had a physical at the beginning of the pregnancy and got the TDAP and they told him, 'oh this is your tetanus booster.' I really didn't think he'd had it but I called to check and they confirmed that it was the TDAP. Just check with your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395313 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:10:34 +0000 tororojo 395313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer. I wasn't sure how to look that up, thanks! Looks like I may end up getting another shot; I'll ask my OB when I'm there in a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395308 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:09:13 +0000 mrsmenow 395308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can get a Td which is just Tetanus and diptheria. I would double check what you got. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395297 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:07:14 +0000 boiledpnut 395297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they don't. Many tetanus boosters are just tetanus and diphtheria. </p> <p><a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tetanus/DS00227/DSECTION=prevention" rel="nofollow">http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tetanus/DS00227/DSECTION=prevention</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shot-question-tetanuswhooping-cough#post-395286 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:03:48 +0000 tororojo 395286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe this is a dumb question; I never thought about it until the vaccination threads these past couple of days. I know the Tdap vaccine is for tetanus, diptheria and pertussis, but do all tetanus shots contain all 3/are all tetanus shots Tdap? DH and I both had a tetanus shot a couple of years ago but I don't recall hearing about the other 2 things. Is it safe to assume we're in the clear or is it possible to get just a tetanus shot with no other protection? </p>
