Many people may wonder, What is Tdap?. Tdap (AdacelÂ®, BoostrixÂ®) is a booster vaccine used to help prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) in both adults and adolescents. It is given as a single, one-time injection into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (where most immunizations are given). Tdap contains pertussis antigens, diphtheria toxoid, and tetanus toxoid. Toxoids are bacterial toxins that have been detoxified. Although the toxoids will not cause the actual disease, they stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies to the toxin.
