What Are the Contraindications for the TDAP Vaccine?
Individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to any component of the TDAP vaccine or those who have had a severe reaction to a previous dose should not receive the vaccine. Additionally, those with a history of encephalopathy not attributable to another identifiable cause within seven days of receiving a pertussis-containing vaccine should avoid the TDAP vaccine and consult with a healthcare provider for alternatives.
