A single dose of Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and 
  A history of encephalopathy (e.g., coma or prolonged seizures) 
  not attributable to an identifiable cause within 7 days of
  administration of a vaccine with pertussis components. This
  contraindication is for the pertussis components, and these persons
  should receive Td instead of Tdap.
 
PREGNANT/BREASTFEEDING WOMEN:
  Women's health care providers should implement a Tdap 
  vaccination program for pregnant women. Health care providers should 
  administer Tdap during each pregnancy, preferably during the third 
Acellular Pertussis vaccine) should be given regardless of when the last 
  trimester (between 27-36 weeks gestation), although Tdap may be given at
  any time during pregnancy. If Tdap is not administered during pregnancy,
  Tdap should be administered immediately postpartum.
  The rationale for repeat vaccination during each pregnancy is 
  that reported cases of pertussis continue to increase, uptake of Tdap 
  vaccine among pregnant women remains low and new data indicate that 
  maternal anti-pertussis antibodies are short-lived, thus Tdap
  vaccination in one pregnancy will not provide high levels of antibodies
  to protect newborns during subsequent pregnancies. The rationale for
  administration during the third trimester (between 27-36 weeks
Tetanus containing product was received in adults who have not previously 
  gestation) is that this would provide the highest concentration of
  maternal antibodies to be transferred closer to birth, but also allow
  for the 2 weeks (before birth) required to mount a maximal immune
  response to the vaccine antigens.
received Tdap.  In addition, pregnant women should receive an additional 
dose during each pregnancy.
 
TdaP Contraindications:
  A history of serious allergic reaction (i.e., anaphylaxis) to any 
  component of the vaccine.
