    • Description:
      What diseases do these vaccines protect against?

      Tdap vaccine helps protect adults from three diseases:

      • Tetanus (lockjaw): a serious bacterial disease that causes painful tightening of muscles that can stop muscles from working properly, including the muscles that control breathing

      • Diphtheria: a very contagious bacterial disease that affects the heart and respiratory system, including the lungs

      • Pertussis (whooping cough): another very contagious bacterial disease that can cause severe cough and breathing problems

      Td, a similar vaccine, provides protection from tetanus and diphtheria, but not whooping cough.

      For more information on this and other vaccines for adults, visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults.
