Boostrix Tdap Vaccine

Boostrix is a Tdap booster vaccine that protects adolescents and adults against three serious bacterial diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, it is designed as a single-dose booster for people who completed their childhood diphtheria and tetanus immunization series and need continued protection into their teen and adult years.

Clinics, pharmacies, occupational health programs, and OB/GYN practices order Boostrix for routine booster schedules, and it plays a particularly important role in the "cocooning" strategy—vaccinating pregnant patients and the family members and caregivers who surround a newborn. Because infants are too young to be fully protected against pertussis in their first months, boosting the adults around them reduces the risk of transmitting whooping cough to a vulnerable baby.
