People who are moderately or severely ill should usually wait until they recover before getting Tdap vaccine. Pain, redness, or swelling where the shot was given, mild fever, headache, feeling tired, and nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomachache sometimes happen after Tdap vaccine.
People sometimes faint after medical procedures, including vaccination. Tell your provider if you feel dizzy or have vision changes or ringing in the ears. As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a severe allergic reaction, other serious injury, or death.
An allergic reaction could occur after the vaccinated person leaves the clinic. If you see signs of a severe allergic reaction hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, or weakness , call and get the person to the nearest hospital. Your health care provider will usually file this report, or you can do it yourself.

Due to these and other symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC reports that tetanus has a fatality rate of approximately 10 percent.
Since tetanus can be fatal even with prompt medical treatment, the CDC recommends that everyone be vaccinated against tetanus with limited exceptions, such as for individuals with prior allergic reactions to tetanus vaccines.
For infants and children, the tetanus vaccine is typically administered in a series of five injections. Young children typically receive tetanus shots at two months, four months, six months, 15 to 18 months, and four to six years of age.
For teens and adults, the CDC recommends booster shots at least every 10 years.
