TDAP - Tetanus,Diphtheria & Pertussis:

É uma vacina segura e recomendada na gravidez. Eu e o Papá tivemos que a tomar, para protecção da nossa Princesa!

"TDAP: This vaccine is recommended for caregivers, close friends and relatives who spend time with your baby. It prevents pertussis (also called whooping cough). Pertussis is easily spread and very dangerous for a baby. If you're thinking about getting pregnant, ask your provider about getting the Tdap vaccine. It protects you from getting pertussis so you don't give it to your baby. " March of dimes

"After receiving a whooping cough vaccine, your body will create protective antibodies (proteins produced by the body to fight off diseases) and pass some of them to your baby before birth. These antibodies provide your baby some short-term protection against whooping cough in early life. These antibodies can also protect your baby from some of the more serious complications that come along with whooping cough. Your protective antibodies are at their highest about 2 weeks after getting the vaccine. So you should get the vaccine late in your pregnancy, preferably during your 27th through 36th week, to give your baby the most protection when he is born. The amount of whooping cough antibodies in your body decreases over time. When you get the vaccine during one pregnancy, your antibody levels will not stay high enough to provide enough protection for future pregnancies. It is important for you to get a whooping cough vaccine during each pregnancy so high levels of protective antibodies are transferred to each of your babies." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
